Bugs and Tuxedos

David Henke was the SVP of Engineering/Operations at LinkedIn and Yahoo. He joined LinkedIn in 2009, when it was experiencing massive growth. He has a number of quotes about software development, including:

“A feature is a bug in a tuxedo.”

I think this is similar to “The only difference between a flower and a weed is judgement.”. I’m still thinking about it, though. What do you think about this quote?

Another thanks to Gene Chuang for sharing this quote with me.
