I don't get the bug "joke" that's flying around. If you have 99 bugs and fix one, why would you have more? Do you not have automated tests?

You can still fix one unit test and mess up 100 other

But that's not a bug, is it? I'd say bugs are found in features that have been completed, not ones that are in progress

Seems like a lot of folks work for companies that value testing like our wives value our opinion on curtain patterns. In our code base, we have less than 5% test code coverage. Very, very common for a developer to fix one bug, just to expose 10 others. Side affect of working for a non-tech company that makes truckloads of money is no one understands the value of testing because they don't have to.
One PM was quoted "If you did your job correctly, you wouldn't have to waste time writing tests."
I get that some feel TDD is a complete waste of time, but good grief, care about what you do.

@PaperTrail at least someone got what I was on about :)

I take it there's no chance of you "overestimating" so that you have time to write tests?
