I'd argue human developers also enjoy finding bugs, they just don't like HAVING them.

I LOVE finding bugs.

I HATE looking for them

And the bugs are always in the last lines of code you check. It's so infuriating! Why can't they be in the first?

You're not desperate enough for them to reveal themselves to you yet

Because you stop searching when you find the bug.

You have to not execute

lines[] = Load(file.code);

bool bug_found = false;
i=0;
while(!bug_found)
{
  bug_found = findBug(lines[i]);
  //looks like I missed a bit, lemme fix
  if(bug_found)
  {
    break;
  }
  i++;
}
bug_fix(lines[i]);
// Who'd've thought that I'd need to fix a bug in a joke about fixing bugs
// Now that's some tasty irony ^-^'

You have to run

lines[] = Load(file.code);

def bugs[];
a = 0;
for(i=0;i<lines[].length();i++)
{
  if (findBug(lines[i])
  {
    bugs[a] = lines[i];
    a++;
  }
}
for(b=0;b<=a;b++)
{
  bug_fix(lines[b]);
}

shouldn't b loop until it's <a instead of <=a ?

Yes

Are you a spider?

vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 pts · 1y

no, but I used to have one. He didn't like looking for them either.

Bugs are job security

Spiders and programmers both need bugs to be able to eat
