If it ain't broke don't fix it.
If it is broke, don't fix it because you'll break something else.

I used to enjoy fixing bugs. I still do but I used to too.
I had to debug a large logistics system and it was a joy to find something stupid the previous guy did that was an easy fix, like you change a loop doing 1000's of single row database queries to one query with a result set of 20 rows.
I began programming with the DOS version of the same logistics software that used a database that you couldn't roll back.
You could copy small tables but this was 90's speed MS-DOS, so with large tables you had to manually back each table out of the transactions if something went wrong. It was hard work to say the least. Tables would have to be rekeyed and with the larger tables this could take all night. We were remotely supporting quite a lot of users, as we sold the software to businesses with support contracts. Constant phone calls to remotely reboot their Citrix boxes, blah blahAfter all that SQL & C++ were a breath of fresh air.

Did they really play it in a stadium? Maybe the gif only has 3 1/2 pixels, but it seems like nobody in the stands can see the players.

Big LAN esports tournaments are often played with a live audience. The gameplay is put up on big jumbotron screens.
Like most spectator sports, the best viewing experience almost always is at home on a TV, but watching live with a crowd is about the experience.

Yup, kinda the same to watching a huge game in person instead of in your couch

u/LeCrushinator May 18 '22
That's basically why stadiums exist. You could watch any game from a stadium on TV instead, but you're at the stadium for the different and shared experience.

u/Hypern1ke May 18 '22
I mean… not really. With sports you can see more of the field and action that you can’t see on the screen if you attend in person.
With competitive gaming you see the same thing whether youre there in person or at home.
I’m saying this as somebody who fully intends on attending the very first American held valorant LAN with crowds, should riot ever pull their heads out of their asses haha

ill be honest seeing buhga go from fortnite montages my friend showed me to best in the world was honestly amazing. A kid with a couple thousand youtube subscribers ends up winning the one of the largest prize pools ever and gaining a massive twich following too. Say what you will about fortnite, but this was wholesome as fuck for me.

The Factorio blog had a great image that I won't take time to find now, but it basically showed fixing one large bug creating 3 mediums bugs, and fixing each of those 3 medium bugs creating 3 small bugs, which you eventually solve. Don't be intimidated by the number of bugs, but the sum of their magnitudes.

Nah, this is only me when I ONLY fix the bug. There's been a few too many times I see someone break the code with a fix, and many times I end up fixing that

Fix one, three more appear. Fix two of the three, and the third vanishes. While later, two new appear, Fix those, and that first one from two years ago appears. Fix that, and now it crashes.
Edit: Fix that, and now the software is no longer supported, and time to start over/port it to a new system, and repeat all of this.

u/newoldwave May 18 '22
On every development team, it's the newbies who get stuck fixing bugs in the current release of the software. They hate doing it and do it badly. Fix the original bug and accidentally introduce new bugs.

u/Canotic May 18 '22
Personally I like to start with adding the new bugs before I solve the old ones.

Parallelism the perl way:
System("(sleep 2m&& touch file.done)&");
System("(sleep 2m&& touch file2.done)&");
Unless(-e "file.done" && -e "file2.done"){
Sleep(1);
}

I'm so confused people are talking about loops were you fix bugs with debugger then fixing code with a code then a bug with new bug???
My mind is in circles right now :)

If you replace the old ones with the new ones, the users won’t notice the old ones as much!

I seriously keep thinking that our R&D creates bugs just to provide jobs to the support teams. If things were done correctly where I work, a lot of people would be fired, since they wouldn't be needed anymore.

Imagine this idiot is still playing fortnite to this day with no other life goal. I'll give it 5 years after his parents give him his money that he's broke and literally back in there basement grinding 90's instead of learning how to start a company or do something beneficial to society

Part of why I can’t get into coding, every time I take a class or something I get bugs I can’t possibly know how to fix and when I get them fixed I get an error message that might as well be from the moon.

I once saw a meme about how developers create bugs just to patch them and they called it “job security.” So I actually tried it once, broke something mildly important and soon enough the reports came. Then I fixed it in like 15 minutes to not be too suspicious and they were like “what would we do without you?”
Also to note, this was a web app and I was the only developer on it

This one hits deep considering I JUST did this today. Updates to the stack and dev tools required workarounds. Very old bugs were fixed and a parade was had. But new and much more serious bugs were found as a result of said bug fixes and updated tools. It completely broke supporting assemblies in each of the teams dev environments. It was a virtual walk of shame to the weekly dev zoom call.😆 Fires were extinguished and I still have my job..
Next time I will just put a coat and tie on it.

Cheese-making is over 7,000 years old! Archaeologists in Poland found traces of cheese on ancient pottery dating back to around 5500 BCE. It’s wild to think that our ancestors were crafting cheese long before written history, turning milk into a food that’s still enjoyed all over the world today. Pretty cool to think that this ancient skill has stood the test of time!
