> Edit 2: This attitude pervades my software development career, and I've brought it to my foray into superconducting circuit design: a bug report brings joy to my life, and I aim to shower the reporter with praise (which may involve chocolate). There is nothing more satisfying than being proven wrong, because it helps us collectively move toward greater truths.

Not to mention that the usual wisdom of "don't kill the messenger" applies equally to bug reporters! Someone finding a bug in your code doesn't mean they willed it into existence; the bug would still be there even if you didn't know about it.
