There are many untold stories in the world today.  From saving lives to sacrificing your self for the greater good.  Stories are past down from generation to generation and I want to make sure there is another story that is told to every programmer in the world.  It is the story of those who write perfect code. An interview in Dec. 2007 was done by Charles Fishman about the programmers who code for the space shuttle.  The men and women that put their code to the test.  It either works and people live, or it fails and people die.  There is only a good and a bad scenario.  If you are space shuttle programmer, you are a perfect coder.  I don't want to bore you with the forward, I would just rather get to the meat of the article. So here it is in all of its glory.
