This is a stretch. Seems like many people think of code as a living thing that just does what it wants, and us programmers have to beat it into submission.
The truth is, there can be bug free applications.
The problem I think is the complete opposite of the point of the article. Programmers need time to write good software. Without stopping to fix the things we run into, technical debt does what it's known for, and exponentially increases, and kills time that could be spent writing features.
So maybe software is like a living being in a way, that it needs to be cared for gently.
