"You shouldn't hire bad programmers" - I did work at a company where the CEO did say that he wished they had programmers who didn't write bugs

He did also not want me to do any testing as "the customers were better at finding bugs than we are"




> He did also not want me to do any testing as "the customers were better at finding bugs than we are"

He's not wrong about that quoted bit, though :-/

Paying customers are uncannily better at finding bugs than anyone!

[Note: I am not advocating for removing testing from your process.]
