@Linux I'm often Debugging for hours to realize I just missed a semicolon there...
-
Better than what I did recently
Was designing a lot of code which in the end was supposed to call another function at the end. But the thing was not working properly and I spent nearly an hour trying to debug because of some weird error code coming out. Even Google had no answer.
Then after mindless frustaration I realised I never called the function *facepalm* -
@TheKingsJester
Yeah, I once tried finding why I could not monitor a certain system with op5, turned out that a ethernet cable was loose... 2 days lost. -
@Linux A great Idea:
Everytime you fix a really stupid Bug you have to do 10 Sit ups, 10 pushups, etc.
We will all become brawny as f*ck :) -
@TheKingsJester
My wife would love that -
@Linux Wanna make the "Developer Fitness App"? It Tracks your Bugs and then suggest exercisses you could make. Everytime you exercisse your Bug Count --, Everytime you created a Bug your Bug Count ++. When your Bug Count get's top high devRant will be Blockes until you exercisse. What do you think? :)

@TheKingsJester
I cant code :'( I only know how to sysadmin -
@Linux Oh😢. But you can learn it! It's the easiest Thing in the world! We can build the App together and you will learn it. ;) I became a programmer when I helped a friend building his Game...

@Linux Naaaah, Come On!! You can't be too stupid! Just try it.!You May need some time but its a great experience.
And this App would be great and think about your wife, she would Love it and it's effect :)
Don't you need to Code as a sysadmin? -
@Linux
2 days? That is nothing.
I've been trying to debug my coworkers for a whole fucking year, only to realize that they're all just unfixable dimwits. -
@Gallifrey The 8 was the value in the variable, as it was uninitialized.
@Linux @TheKingsJester @POTUS Well it's nice to know I'm not the only one who makes silly mistakes 😅 -
-
@Gogeta70 lol yes uint32_t and * after the return type. I have only read Node and immediately thought NodeJS ignoring the rest of the listing. :)
-
@MrThompson It probably doesn't help that it has the word node in the variable name :P
Hats off to this lady .... I would have just flipped the machine
FUCK! agshdklgdahgisdahl;k!
I just spent 45 FUCKING MINUTES debugging try to figure out WHY THE HELL a function that is supposed to return either a pointer to a valid object OR ZERO if a valid object is not found, was RETURNING FUCKING EIGHT!
Then I saw it... I typed:
nodeList[index];
instead of:
return nodeList[index];
It took me looking at a stack trace and a disassembly of the function to realize this.
Can't wait for this three-day weekend...
