Strange. right. they lose because they don't care about quality. you can win and win and win and win, and it leads to a loss. and you don't care about winning, concentrate on quality, and it leads to a win. the programmers are in the trap of quality/quantity. they try to be materialists, when in fact only spirit is their chance out of the dilemma.
