professional programming ==>
paranoid programming
<programming> A programming style that tries to prepare for the worst
external conditions, including incorrect input, resource limitations, hardware
and software failure and even can't happen errors, to the fullest possible
extent. While some believe in the motto "professional programming is paranoid
programming", the expression usually has the connotation that the efforts are
unnecessary or too costly ("Maybe this code is just paranoid programming, but I
think it is necessary to avoid a possible overflow condition".)
