      As I’m a computer scientist, most of my work is on a computer.
      All my work is backed up every night on a network server, and so there is little risk of losing work.
      The computer on my desk is good, and I have access to a powerful computer cluster that is well looked after.

      There is always a possibility of writing code with a bug, where someting unexpected happens, thats why we have to test the code we write to make sure it works as we expect
