Remember, I've been doing this for a _lot_ longer than 10 years :-)

It took me quite a while to learn it, and even that was on embedded systems
where the code was much smaller and centrally controlled than an entire OS
plus utilities plus applications.  The problem space was orders of magnitude
smaller, and the code only needed to run on one piece of hardware.  Even so,
there was always something else that was broken ...
