So you've never found a bug in your production code? Never had a customer ask for a change to a feature you just released? Never asked any of your employees to work late or spend a little time on the weekend to get something out the door on the scheduled date? Honestly, that sounds like fantasy to me. There are always bugs. There's always stuff your customers are going to want done differently. And there's always stuff that won't go quite as planned, requiring either extra time or dropped features to hit your deadline (which, sometimes, is imposed on you by forces outside your control).
