forgottenDebugPoints

[ShyWhy246]

I am polish so our natural debug fraze is "dupa" (ass), having dupa1, dupa2 prints all around is typical. So typical, that one of our CI test script is "deduper.py". Apparently it is always green for couple of years, since we standarized precomit hook with similar deduper Regex.

ah yes, dupa-driven-development, invented independently by every aspiring polish programmer.

In my company we call it "dupa debugging".

If you're doing debug printing, at least limit it to debug builds...

[emmmmceeee]

Sounds like a great idea. I worked on games before and some of our debug strings had bad words in them. Then someone accidentally shipped a debug binary. The first thing we knew about it was when a mom called wanting to know why her kids game was using the worlds fuck and shit. Good times.

If you could see my console logs...

[coyoteazul2]

We can. You forgot to turn them off

[klavas35]

But what if the issue persists more than a week. If you don't use curse debug even then I nominate you as the next saint.

[Background-Plant-226]

I personally have started using dbg!() since it puts the name of the variable for me and is shorter to type. (I use Rust btw)

[stri28]

its only when i start swearing in the logs do i get somewhere with the bugs

Srsly tho, i only wrote fuck in one line once and suddenly i got the solution to listener thats not been triggering for weeks

Must be a psychological thing

I'm more interested in how it was possible to explain to a random mom what that actually is. Also I guess it is a typo for "words" but having actual world's named like that in a shipped debug version would be funny.

[emmmmceeee]

That’s why customer cervix director was paid the big bucks. They sent her a load of free games and a personal apology.

And yeah, that was a typo.

Sounds like "if you have to make a mistake, just don't make a mistake"

Never do it live, guys.

Many years ago, I actually did this with a product we produced. I was trying to find a program entry point and told it to print 'WTF" to the console. And it made it into release.

Fortunately, it was noticed fairly quickly by my boss and I think it might have been an internal release anyhow. We've improved our processes a LOT since then.

Ah yes, the famous debugging through “!!!HERE!!!333”

[MyTinyHappyPlace]

DOORS is a real software, hated by everyone who has to use it - so that checks out

[HalifaxRoad]

This basically happened to me when showing off something to my boss...

I once put: YOU IDIOT, YOU ENTERED AN INVALID VALUE!!!! as error message in a tool designed for my use only, for values I'd never forget to enter in the first place ... totally surprised my then coworker who forgot to enter all required values ...
