> working code that just doesn’t quite do what I asked

Code that doesn't do what you want isn't "working", bro.

Working exactly to spec is the code's only job.

It is a bit ambiguous I think, there is also the meaning of "the code compiles/runs without errors". But I also prefer the meaning of, "code that is working to the spec".
