Yes. You just reminded me of my first boss, great salesman, engaging personality ... still my favourite boss. Though not a great programmer, he'd hacked out a system in record time and managed to sell it to a chain of bakeries. His system made us a lot of money and was working remarkably well until, in the middle of the night, we get a support call from a very sheepish bakery worker, reluctant to explain exactly what the problem was. Finally, she said the system had stopped with "What the f*!!? am I doing here?" displayed on the screen. :)
