Helped: Initial reasonable output for small script.

Got in the way: Subtle bug introduced; tool could not fix it.

… I’d say that the original result was good enough that I could pretty much take it and fix it, but only because I knew all the code and libraries well enough. It was only about 150 lines of simple code and by the time I’d finished I was joking with the team that I could have spent all the time wrestling vim macros instead and come out about the same. What’s your experience been with correctness?
