Ditto for computer programs: they always do exactly what you tell them to do, which is rarely what you really want.
I guess this is a joke since I think you are good at programming, but on a more serious note if anyone actually has this problem they might want to change to a different language.
With a few different languages I actually feel they do what I want 99% of the time or more.
I'll leave out naming any names here as I'm not trying to change anyone who is currently happy where they are.
Donald Knuth famously wrote: "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it.", see also: the doctrine of testing.
Ironically, the first ever computer bug does not fit your claim [0].
At that point you have reached the zen of juggling.
"The applications aren't the point," Graham says. "I look at mathematics pretty globally. It represents the ultimate structure and order. And I associate doing with [sic] mathematics with control. Jugglers like to be able to control a situation. There's a well-known saying in juggling: 'The trouble is that the balls go where you throw them. 'It's just you. It's not the phases of the moon, or someone else's fault. It's like chess. It's all out in the open. Mathematics is really there for you to discover."
-- Ronald Graham
