DESCRIPTION

"You've done the first 90%; now you have only the other 90% left!"

Judgment

    未濟：亨，小狐汔濟，濡其尾，無攸利。

Fun. If you let that small bug interfere with data stream, then you'll have to tail the log, because nothing will work.

Interpretation

    彖曰：未濟，亨﹔柔得中也。 小狐汔濟，未出中也。 濡其尾，無攸利﹔
          不續終也。 雖不當位，剛柔應也。

It's fun before finishing a job; your software is stuck in the middle of schedule. Bugs keeps disturbing you, and the project is going nowhere. Tail the log to discover the problem, so you can solve it before deadline.

Although all the bits are in the wrong place, at least the ones and zeros occur in turn.
