Of course, Twitters days might be numbered if the youth of the world decide to cast off the customs of their elders (and by elders, I mean those four years older than they are) and go to something else as buggy. I don't believe any code is defect-free; those that seem so have defects yet to be discovered. I think a quality application is something I can use/test for some length of time and not find fairly obvious flaws. Additionally, this would include an interface that lacks grammar and spelling issues; any time I see those, I just assume the developers are as code-illiterate as they are English-illiterate and that logic defects aren't far below the surface.

Ever read Zen and The Art of Motorcyle Maintenance ? Do you define quality as being defect free ? I thought that would get a comment from you, glad you didn’t let me down ;)
