I am sorry he said that to you. Those words were uncalled-for.
None of us is perfect, and none of us has time to consider every
contingency. So every program we write has shortcomings (and bugs,
too). If people use the program a lot, they will use it in ways we
did not imagine, and sometimes it won't handle them well.
C'est la programmation.
