I'm sorry, but as a programmer I don't see the analogy. You make a mistake, you fix it. If you make only one mistake, you ask for a raise.

Ah, but what if it is child support payments? If you get behind you could conceivably wind up paying it off for the rest of your life lol. I have another,

Horrible analogy, IMO.

Your mistakes as a programmer, don't eat, shit, need new clothes every six months, baths every day, require a roof over their heads, or an edumakashun.

He's reading your disc because he lost his map.

I'm sorry, but the number you have dialed is imaginary. Please rotate the phone by 90 degrees and try again.
