Why programmers like cooking...

I like this... I was just ranting about software issues like that when I saw that.

Why programmers like cooking: You peel the carrot, you chop the carrot, you put the carrot in the stew. You don’t suddenly find out that your peeler is several versions behind and they dropped support for carrots in 4.3

Non-programmer here. My main error when cooking is making my way through a recipe - dice onion, slice carrot, mince garlic - only to discover about 2/3 of the way through that I forgot to buy the chicken. Or wondering whether rosemary would be a decent enough substitute for thyme. You get the idea.

I'm usually pretty good about these things, but after 40+ years of cooking for myself and my family I'm still making unforced errors.
