Working as a PA, I have officially run through so many semicolon errors in third year Verilog code that I shall go mad if there are any more.

On another note, a friend told me about something he had heard regarding outcome bias - which basically means that if something goes wrong after taking a certain decision, one would tend to pause and ponder before taking that same decision in a similar situation, regardless of statistically the outcomes work out. Or, exaggerated (as is my wont), someone who has lost by calling heads nine times will tend to call a tail on the tenth flip of a completely unbiased coin.

All this sounds like a lot of nonsense (which it probably is), but it also tends to get me thinking about whether I am too quick in thinking that a whole lot of my decisions in life have been wrong. And still, I am not entirely convinced to the contrary. Decision biases et cetera notwithstanding, I still think that, contrary to the cliched 'I'd do the same all over again', I probably would act differently at the crossroads that I stumbled at, and choose the exact opposite path. Stands to reason, I guess. (or maybe not)
