What’s common between snow and code?

See the writeup by Tim Ottinger: Shoveling code

I was ill when the first snow fell last weekend, and didn’t get out and scrape the drive and sidewalks. Sadly, neither did I bundle up my kids and send them out with shovels. As a result, the snow melted and refroze. When I left home on sunday morning, clearing the snow was frustrated by the presence of hard, packed ice under the snow.
