if you don't understand to have a backup of your work you shouldn't be working professionaly. period.
REGARDLESS of serverside or desktop there will always be bugs. how many times has PHPBB2 needed to be security fixed? that isn't a bug it's a feature?
C++ more buggy code? this completely dumbfounded me. you HAVE to be kidding. sorry man but i'd hate to flame but that comment is completely asinine. it's like saying that reading books is more prone to paper cuts so have a bok read to you
a. Your right...I've been at this longer than you've been alive...I'm ready for retirement I think

I retract that comment incase your like 50 or something
I was simply hinting at the fact that as developers, like in any profession, we sometimes become complacent with unlimited undo's and if by chance you beautified an entire source tree (with buggy software) and *forgot* to backup...you'd have a very frustrated few moments...

My software never has bugs in it

I'm perfect

C++ the language itself is *not* the culprit...but the developers themselves.
I've programmed in C++ for over 10 years...in almost every GUI library available today...I've stared at probably hundreds of thousands of lines of source code and played with even more. I've seen more buggy software in C++ by it's complicated nature and more house work being required.
The language is not what is buggy...in fact it's probably the most stable well known, well understood language both in terms of expressing oneself and in terms of compiler design. It's complicated to program in and is common knowledge to most professional C++ developers they will likely encounter bugs in even small source code bases (depending on their origin and maturity of course).
Like Murphy's Law suggests:
"If anything can go wrong it will"
So I'm afraid...my friend...with complexity, comes more complexity...I think your to accustomed to PHP handling the dirty work for you....
Cheers
