Will the bug in my code please stand up?
I repeat
Will the bug in my code please stand up?
I think we have a problem here.

"Sir, I fixed the recent bug"
"Great, what did you do?"
"I commented out the code that was causing it :)"
"Brilliant! You didn't forget to push the code to production, did you?"
"No Sir, I pushed it immediately"
"Marvelous! I'll arrange a promotion for you next month"5 -

Manager: This code you wrote violates the single responsibility principle!!
Dev: How so?
Manager: You have one function that you call in *MULTIPLE* places. That’s too much responsibility for one function! Functions should only have one responsibility!! Creeping the scope of a function beyond that is a TERRIBLE way to write code!
Dev: But why spin up multiple functions that all perform the same thing?
Manager: Well if a function has a bug in it and you use that function multiple places then that bug exists everywhere you use that function. If a function only has one responsibility then if it has a bug that bug will only exist in the single place it is called! You really should think first before asking questions like that.
Dev: …26 -
Boss man: your code has issues , you should strive to have lesser bugs.

Finding the bug. The usual flow:
"Omg! I think it's a bug in the compiler"
10 minutes later:
"OK, it surely is a bug in the runtime"
20 minutes later:
"I'm certain this is a bug in the core library"
2 hours later:
"Oh, it's a bug in my code. Again, as usual, I'm the idiot. Stupid world."1 -
My Boss: When are you going to finish?
Me: There is a bug, I'm solving it, I need more time.
My Boss: Why have you introduced a bug in your code and now solving it? It were more simple if you didn't created any bug!
Me: WTF!!!8 -
IF LIVES DEPEND ON A SYSTEM
1. Code review, collaboration, and knowledge sharing (each hour of code review saves 33 hours of maintenance)
2. TDD (40% — 80% reduction in production bug density)
3. Daily continuous integration (large code merges are a major source of bugs)
4. Minimize developer interruptions (an interrupted task takes twice as long and contains twice as many defects)
5. Linting (catches many typo and undefined variable bugs that static types could catch, as well as a host of stylistic issues that correlate with bug creation, such as accidentally assigning when you meant to compare)
6. Reduce complexity & improve modularity -- complex code is harder to understand, test, and maintain

I bet everyone here knows these two situations:
1. You have a bug, show the code to somebody else for debugging and the bug is gone, but as soon as you're alone again, it reappears.
2. Your program works fine, you want to show somebody what you accomplished and...

Boss: I wrote some tests and there is a bug in your code but I cannot find it. Fix it
Me: Sure. I'm on it.
Narrator: 5 minutes later
Me: Boss, I found the bug. It's in your testcode...
Seriously... WTF?!
(before someone suggests that my code should handle all test cases... He tried to measure the time the program needed to response and fucked it up...) -
- there is a bug in the code.
A: I have searched everywhere I can't find the bug
B: What was the last thing you wrote?
A: I called this function
B: did you check the function for bugs?
A: no, I just coded it, there can't be any bugs there3 -
The worst part of debugging my code isn't the hours of wasted time, it's the fact I know I wrote my own damn bug!2

Fixed this guy's code and he spent the whole day thanking and explaining to me how sad and depressed the bug had left him. I felt really sorry for the poor dude. Lol.

Ever been stuck in a bug, you sleep it off, dreamed of the code to fix it and you woke up, tried it, and it worked??7

Hunted a bug for 8 hours, thinking it was a problem in my code....
Found out it was someone else's code generator that injected the bug...
Contacted the concerned dev... Had to convince him for another 3 hours that it was his change to the code that caused the issue. He is still sure that his change can't break the code...... What the fuck are you..? A fucking God programmer who never makes mistakes??
I mean how hard is it to just accept when I just proved it to you??6 -
A random number generator in my code just gave "0000". I even thought that could be some bug and was investigating. How cool is that?2

ChatGPT AI. HELP ME.
i copy and pasted the part of code thats bugging me. Keep in mind that this is a VERY large and robust system and this is just tiny percentage of code.
I told the AI to help me fix this shit bug.
ChatGPT literally explained me what the bug is as if im retarded and wrote code how to fix it.

So I had this conversation with my boss yesterday...
Me: Hey, I found this bug in the other team's code that has a major impact on what we're trying to do. Can you ask them to look into it?
Boss: No, I don't want to be the one who has to tell them there's a major bug in their code. Find a workaround.
M: But... It isn't really a major bug, it just has a big impact on our side of things.
B: Workaround!

That moment when code reuse makes you reuse reused code and you actually reuse a BUG.
You decide to go for code reusing when your boss asks: "Can you add an edit popup besides that 'add customer' popup button?". You do some little tweaks to the "new customer" code and it allows that to save over an existing entry, cool.
However, after a lot of time spent on reviewing the resulting PR, turns out there was a dormant bug on the code you reused, and it woke up with its new use.
That code was a bad copy-pasta from another, bigger form, which included a whole bunch of optional fields. As it was only used to save new entries, those now missing fields were simply being saved as empty. But as you reused that to save existing entries, you were now cleaning up all those optional fields without noticing.1 -

Just spent an entire night eaning up my codebase...
I optimized some of the functions got rid of unnecessary global variables and changed up the whole file hirearchy so it would be easier to read. After spending all night doing this I went to run the program and for once it seemed everything worked right the first time! However a portion of my application that is supposed to happen at a certain date and time never would run. After spending all night comparing each and every line for what I changed versus my last commit I couldn't find the fallacy in my logic. Everything should still work like it did before. After spending more time looking for bugs I finally realized I didn't break anything when I switched over to this new structure it was the old code that was broken. I went through the old code and after some debugging eventually found the culprit an extra continue statement that prevented my loop from fully executing. Lesson learned sometimes the biggest bugs can spawn from one line of code.4 -
that feeling when you start looking at code after dinner, correct a bug or two, start implementing new features, tweak the code a little bit, you are really focus in your coding... then look out the window and realize the sun is about to come up. it's great 🤓

One thing I learned early on was...

Come back from a week's vacation, 3 apps in review. Sit down, set up Xcode, pull latest changes. Run code for the first time, tap through two screens, find a critical bug and I have to reject all 3 apps and resubmit.

Someone's not doing their job... -
I downloaded somebody's GitHub code to use for a project. It had a bug that broke functionality, so I fixed it and started running it to gather data. Then it stopped working for a different reason. I rechecked out the code fresh, same (second) issue occurred. It was a second bug, that once I fixed it, everything worked. But I didn't need to fix it the first time! There weren't any commits in the last two months! I blame ghosts.

Everything works fine until your manager starts looking at your code and all of a sudden your screen starts interacting with your manager- "Here is a bug there is a bug and you have got a lazy developer who ignores me like a dumb."

Manager in anger... Me in shock and code is totally in revenge mode...

A big project in my company. Had some annoying race condition that caused data to get deleted when two processes finished in the wrong order they hit the dB and override each other’s work.
Long story short. Fixed the bug and in the process the codebase shrunk by 60%. I didn’t have to delete the rest of the code, but the bug was due to a function in the legacy section of the code, and found out that it was the only function used in that section.
So I deleted it. Rewrote the function so it upserts. And bam. Smaller, cleaner code :)1 -

Get a ticket for a low priority bug, reported internally. Fix the issue mentioned in the bug.
Moves to QA environment, the original bug reporter tests and *passes* the ticket.
Moves to Staging environment, same exact individual then *fails* the testing. Cites totally new/unrelated changes that need to be made.
Apparently our the workflow is -
Code->QA->Staging->Requirements

- Software pet peeves
- Story about how you freaked someone out

I had a ticket to enhance the loading of a page.
So instead of doing 40K requests to a MySQL DB in order to generate a tree and display it to to the user on each page visit, the initial query was optimized and moreover, the results are saved in a MongoDB which will then are served to the user on each page visit.
Long story short, after a code review the code got shipped to production and there was a bug which got fixed in a Hotfix shortly afterwards.
I got all the blame for the bug.
I don't deny I have a responsibility for the bug.
Do you guys think the code reviewer also has a shared responsibility for the bug?4 -

Me: Do I know you?
Don't ask me to maintain code written in the past2 -
I don't know why I'm doing this but when I go to websites that aren't mine and found that there's a bug in their site or system, I kinda happily report these bugs and issues to their email with screenshots, findings and steps to reproduce the bug.
Just recently, I just went to a site and found a peculiar timeout error, eventhough it was less than a second to respond back. Only to find that there was an undefined JavaScript variable in their code.
Is there a bug bounty for fixing code?6 -
Whole day was a debug session with several hundred lines of code and tons of if else conditions.
Found the bug.
Time to go home.

I encountered a really weird bug today in my javascript. I'm working on a CMS and one of the things it handles is adding, uploading and resizing images. So, one function adds an empty image to the dom, unselects the currently selected image and selects the new empty image. Pretty straighforward right? So the problem is the unselect function didn't want to work. The image is added and gets selected but the previous image is also still selected.
I set a few breakpoints checked every variable but everything was the way it should. So after an hour trying things I discovered that if I removed the code where the image get added to the body the deselect function works (innerHTML += element) I thought maybe a little timout between these two actions would work but it didn't work. It looks like all dom actions lock up after the empty image gets added. I didn't understood so I moved the unselect function to the above the image add code and it worked wut ??.
code before fix:
func:
body.innerHTML += html;
unselect();
select();
after:
func:
unselect();
body.innerHTML += html;
select();
Atleast its fixed now -
This is just a sweet little harmless block of code, why should I unit test it?

Bug in production : This is why. -
Sometimes I think that my computer is possessed.
The story goes like this (typical): adding a new feature creates a bug with something that worked perfectly until now. I find and solve the bug in a few minutes. Now the spooky part: with that sort of bug, even the code that worked up to now shouldn't have worked. But it did. Does someone knows a good Ghostbusters service?1 -
When I added that bug fix to my code a few weeks ago only myself and God knew what I changed - now only git knows...

Couldn't sleep this morning, so at 6am I tried to tackle the bug that gave me a hard time yesterday... at 10am I found the bug, and so I remembered the number one rule when coding.
KISS? Nope.
The number one rule is that your past self is dumb and he probably created the bug in the easy part of the code... you know, the one you didn't even check because of-course-the-bug-cannot-be-there-Im-not-stupid.2 -

Happy days, yesterday we updated form 16.3 to 16.4 and thanks to them fixing the bug in 'getDerivedStateFromProps' my broken code is now breaking.
Don't you just love it when features inadvertently depend on bugs. The entire component ONLY worked properly because of a react bug.3 -
* Customer reports bug.
* I fix the bug.
* This highlights another issue that I haven't got enough resources to fix.
* I revert the fix.
* <insert hacky workaround here>
We have code that invokes undefined behaviour (freeing memory twice), but somehow people have managed to build around it and now it depends upon it to work.

Sing: "110 little bugs in my code,
110 little bugs,
Fixing one bug,
Compiling again
Now there are 121 little bugs in the code"3 -
When you testing your exception handling by throwing an exception, but the code throwing the exception has a bug and throws an exception, so you think it works... d'oh
-
Not sure what is going to be worse. Fixing the bug in this code. Or removing all of the code I added in the name of finding the bug in this code. I have found myself asking myself why I chose coding when I come have picked something less stressful. Like flaming bull fighting.

If you say u can write a bug free code, thats a bigger news than AlphaGo.

Wasted two hours to end up finding out EF Core had a bug :\
Next time better blame Microsoft before blaming my code lol

All time I try to find any interesting bug in my code but when ever I debug I find only stupid mistakes :/1
-
for one split second I thought I had discovered a way to manage multiple states with one reducer function in react,
turns out it was a bug in my code,
I had already gone to brag about it on my react group chat, until I went back to my code and as I was cleaning up and closing brackets and all that stuff, my new feature stopped working.
I need to find that bug3 -
Dreamed about fixing an unsolvable bug in some code that made absolutely zero fucking sense and woke up with a fucking migraine.
-
The error in database entry was negated by a bug in front-end code. Two mistakes cancelling out each other!
How is your day going ?5 -
It's a Monday, I've been trying to fix a bug since the morning, I cannot read or write any code. I tried to review a PR, still cannot read the code. Getting frustrated by the slightest problem.2
-
Sigh, I have this terrible habit where I make and run my code in the same command. I'll spend an hour wondering why my bug fix didn't work and it's because the make never succeeded, but the code runs anyways. 😒😒😒4
-
solutions architect was questioned because a bug was found on her code... she said... "just ignore it". 6 years later and a lot of extensions and boilerplate additions, here i am.. fixing it.1
-
That moment when you spend hours on fixing some bug, and finally discover that the problem is in another piece of code..
Literally, I feel I am on dumpiness overflow ! -
Is there a name for the phenomenon whereby you iteratively modify code to try to fix a bug, with no apparent result, and then realize it's an entirely different part of the code causing the issue, but the parts you were modifying actually did need modifying too?2
-
I've looked at code I've writte and on average I fix one bug (minor) every 10-20 lines.
Is this normal, subpar, or good for a beginner?8 -
The code life is a cold life, but I love it. And, I can't get enough of this video! "I am a different bug. I'm the last bug you see before you die."

Hi Devrant!
I've been doing mainly bugfixes for about 3 weeks now, and to keep myself sane, I have re-written Queens - Another one bites the dust, to fit my work. I hope you enjoy it too.
Let's go!
Dev walks warily down the street
With his brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his keys
Keyboards ready to go
Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Out of the hands the code rips
To the sound of the beat
Another bug bites the dust
Another bug bites the dust
And another bug gone, and another bug gone
Another bug bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another bug bites the dust
How do you think I'm going to get along
Without you when you're gone?
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own
Are you happy, are you satisfied?
How long can you stand the heat?
Out of the hands the code rips
To the sound of the beat, look out
Another bug bites the dust
Another bug bites the dust
And another bug gone, and another bug gone
Another bug bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another bug bites the dust
Hey, another bug bites the dust
Another bug bites the dust
Another bug bites the dust
Another bug bites the dust
Shoot out
There are plenty of ways that you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him, you can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him
When he's down
But I'm ready, yes, I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the hands the code rips
Repeating to the sound of the beat
Another bug bites the dust
Another bug bites the dust
And another bug gone, and another bug gone
Another bug bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another bug bites the dust
Shoot out4 -
When you're trying to find a bug in your parser/interpreter but it's working fine and all this time the bug was in the code you were feeding to the parser/interpreter. Smh2
-
Have you ever gone through your code line by line and still can't figure out what the bug is...
That's when you know you have ghosts inside your computer4 -
Just spent 3 hours trying to understand why my compiler isn`t even trying to compile my code until i found out it was a known clang bug.
-
When you reported a bug using Google's own sample code. Only changing the list item count = 1 will cause it to never display the data. Yet being marked as **WorkingAsIntended**

When was the last time you fix a difficult bug and you make a crazy lunar laugh that makes you lost control of your saliva?
~ I can tell, you code fiercely.2 -
The next major war seems more likely to be started by a bug in someone's code than an action taken by a world leader.1

Working now 8 months at a company. (C++)
Every feature becomes a refactor and a code clean
Every bug becomes a refactor and a code clean
Every Refactor becomes a code purge. :/1 -
Me when I am trying to fix a bug and I skip the part of the code where the bug is, because I am sure it is correct. https://media.giphy.com/media/...

I had a bug in my code, I was sure I fixed it but when I tested it nothing was charged. I asked my friend to take a look, and when he looked over my code I found out what the problem was: I tested with the older version.
-
That feeling when you find the god damn bug after 2 hours.. however, it made me better understand my code, so thank you tiny bug❤
-
Ever happened,.. ? the whole Application crash due to a bug in one of the libraries used and you skim through the code a million times, make a billion changes but the app still crashes.2
-
Just woke up covered in sweat after dreaming about reading code and frantically searching for a bug.
I think I do have the flu. -
Happy Monday Ya'll, may your code be bug-less and JIRA unfilled.
(I know none of this will happen but damn it dream will you) -
So you find out a bug in your own code... a bug that nobody noticed in the month it was out and about... because nobody used that feature the manager asked for in one of those mood swings... that yet you so had so carefully built with love...2
-
This feeling when you finally fixed an annoying bug in your code that gave you headache for days... :)
-
Bugs are just undocumented features...
Im that case, all the code i have ever written is all just one huge bug. -
I tried to convince the actual bug that landed in the middle of the code on my screen a few minutes ago to pose with my (AWESOME!!) stickers. He was lonely among my compiling code and took off so you get me instead :)
-
Comments throughout code with things like "changed to fix bug #". And commented out code all over.
We have source control, why the hell are you doing this? -
I spent 3 hours without find the bug on my code. I just found, I installed the library but not the plugin
Django + Django excel + pyexcel_xls
:( #WIN1 -
I was fixing a bug, wrote some code that was really neat, still it looked like to much.
Then I realised I could change my code to 4 simple rules vs 50 -
Me: Writes tests while fixing bug
Supervisor: "I'd suggest fixing other bugs and then picking up test cases"
Well the reasons we have so many bugs is that you let our off-shore devs just write code with ZERO code coverage!! -
Sometimes I'm so overconfident that I don't test some parts of the code I write and then curse myself when QE finds a bug1
-
Nothing like trying to fix a product breaking bug in someone else's code that just ran off on vacation for a week. 😒1
-
How to know that you need a rest?
You see a code:
```
public function scopeEnabled($q)
{
$q->where('disabled', false);
}
```
And assume that you have a serious bug...1 -
First thing that I do with weird bug: trying to execute buggy code inside runOnUiThread{} / DispatchQueue.main.async{} and see if it works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-
5000+ Lines of Code for one IntegrationTest means you are dping testing wrong.
1 day work on software 1 week on tests.
At least I'm now sure I didn't create a avoidable bug.2 -
Somebody write more and more ugly / incomprehensible lines of code for 1-2 beautiful line.
But the bug is always in ugly code.
I hate these programmers, I hate these programs!1 -
If you're making code changes without a Story or Bug ID, you're doing something wrong. Take the 30 seconds and open a story to track your friggin work please.2
-
Rule: NumberIdunno,
It's easier to figure out a solution yourself than it is to clean your code, recreate the bug in a small snippet then posting it on Stackoverflow.2 -
Every freaking time I think I've fixed my bug and can continue, I see a secondary bug showing up making me revise the code that I previously fixed..
At least I keep myself busy I guess. -
"Bug fixes and performance improvements" - what I actually mean is that I shipped some dodgy code & this patch covers my humongous arse...sort of.1
-
Legacy code: the digital equivalent of a haunted house. Each line of code holds the ghostly whispers of past developers, and every bug fix feels like exorcising demons. Welcome to the developer's graveyard, where the skeletons of outdated tech lurk in every commit. 💀👻

when windows 10 crashes and your vagrant takes AGES to get up after windows forced reboot on the crash.
Also found a stupid bug in some validation code I have written. SHAME.1 -
Q: What will be left in your code if you remove all the bug causing statements?
A: print("Hello World!") -
Shit. Today I had to code some required Migration Script for a Client. Deadline tomorrow.
It's nearly finished. But the Last thing isn't working correct.
I'll try to find the bug when I am at Home.
Yeah. I hope I Can find it.
But.. but. The FUCKING TRAIN WAS CANCELLED. SHIT! I have to find the bug you piece of Shit!2 -
Oh, my ex-senior wrote some code for uploading files in his last project lets use it! It will be easier!
Discover it has a bug and spent couple hours to fix it! -
Anyone know any nice code quality tools/bug finders (besides find-bugs) plugins for Intellij IDEA?2
-
That feeling you get when you enter in a piece of code for a bug fix...#aweekofbangingmyheadonakeyboard
-
Yes, the bug is always on our side. Other teams are immaculate and they write the purest, most perfect code possible.
-
Time since the last bug caused by blindly copying code in a if/else and forgetting to change a variable: 0 Hours.
-
Working with microcontrollers is like another level of frustration.
Beside the code not working you are on another level, which is the hardware not working...
Once spent 6 hours searching for a bug and in the end the "bug" was swapped cables for communication.2 -
I spent ~12h working on a simple issue/bug.
7h was spent on rebuilding local dev environment which is a clusterfuck of maven profiles, tomcat, some autogenerated degeneracy, and 2 different build systems for JS.
5h spent on actual bug fixing, code reviews and so on.
FML2 -
Code doesn't lie, but sometimes you really feel like it is. Just curious, is there anyone here that has ever actually found a bug with a platform?2
-
rant. Tried to fix a weird bug in gamemaker, with some unfamiliar technic, resulting in another bug. Then one hour later, still no solution to that bug until I look around in the code seeing that I already used the exact solution that fixes the first bug.
In gamemaker there are scripts. I tried to forcefead the fucking script with a variable when calling it. Inside the script, there where already variables working fine with the extension or what-to-call-it:
other.(insert variable).
And that pisses me off. -
Just a Thought
We are not creating any feature
We are just directly implementing bug/error at first place and resolving/fixing that thing with adding more code to it1 -
Not sure what's worse, finding a bug in my code or waiting in a garage for 3 x tyres to be fitted and tracking to be done on my car! 😱1
-
Hey guys!
I am looking for good "whats wrong with this code" snippets with as little lines of code as possible!11 -
Get a bug report, look at the code: it was fix a month ago by... Me. The look on the face of my colleague like I'm a wizard or something: priceless1
-
Code base is full of /*bug fix - XXXX */ coments, sometimes it feels the software is a Bugenstein's Monster!!
Not sure if this kind of comments serve any real purpose...
Commented old code is a more familiar monster; but that's a tale for another day. -
Guys, I'm refactoring a server code from es5 to es6 and I would like to know how to get es6 errors like when I'm working with React. I have installed babel, and I can compile es6 code but I get errors that target the es5 (compiled) code so it's not easy to find the bug sources5

A guy asked me today why his code wont run and it didnt even have a single ; or endl; i straight up ignored the guy later he was all hyped he told me that the huge bug had beeb not using ; this noob literally taught he solved some huge bug....4

Looking for the keyboard Elliot uses In season 1 on mr robot and I found a bug
TECHNICALLY it's displaying the correct CSS...just the CSS code instead 😂

Have you used Postgresql with EF Core code first? My migrations don't run. It says in correct syntax near GENERATE. I don't know if this is a bug or I'm doing something stupid5
