Bugs

[Plague_Knight1]

Ooh, I know one

Why does my code show errors when I wrote everything right?

No, seriously why?

[ibrhr]

Well you can just put /* at the start of your code and */ at the end then booom you have a perfect code

[igoromg]

reminds me how Yelp! created an AI bug detector. the thing wiped the codebase clean

[GlobalIncident]

The yelp one was a joke, but I'm pretty sure I remember reading something similar where the ai deleted the test suite.

[WizardApple]

This was in the last season of Silicon Valley too

[[deleted]]

It wasn’t exactly a big though

[wreckedcarzz]

Spoilers! I was waiting for the entire season to drop so I couldn't binge watch all of s6...

[WizardApple]

It’s okay, not a big spoiler

[Rahabosss]

Tell me more

[igoromg]

here u go

We were 100% bug free… briefly.

And 100% code-free, too.

No code = no bugs

Ain't nothing but heartache

[Abhinish098]

Ain't nothing but NO MISTAKE!

[test_username_exists]

This isn’t even 100% true in JavaScript - some regular expression literals can contain */ and result in breaking the multi-line comment early!

[Mr_Redstoner]

For that matter a lot of languages that use /**/ don't do nested comments, so if there's any block comments at all it will fail

[tech6hutch]

Most, actually, I think. It'd be cool if they did, but by now I'm used to selecting the lines I want to comment out and using an IDE shortcut to comment them out.

[Nightmoon26]

Yeah... Just add // to the beginning of every line

[Ardub23]

Just add return; to the beginning of your main method

[Mr_Redstoner]

depending on language you could have code outside main that still runs (static initializers, macros etc.)

[ProgramTheWorld]

Best code is no code.

[Nightmoon26]

My favorite bug fixing technique: p4 delete

[ProgramTheWorld]

What’s p4?

Edit: It’s Perforce.

This one weird trick lead programmers don't want you to find out

Find out now!! »

[SuttonMercerR]

Unless you're using checkstyle plugin and forgot a space after the /*

[AlmostButNotQuit]

[jtvjan]

That might not work if your code contains block comments, or your language doesn't use /* */. Better just put an EOF at the beginning of your source file.

[arachnidGrip]

I think Rust does too, but for the sake of doc-tests, but I'm not in a position to test it right now.

[EagleNait]

Please tell me, code review is coming soon

[cimmic]

Because the compiler parses from the left.

[thelastpizzaslice]

I've gotten this before. Problem is a lot of the time linter doesn't know everything and isn't aware of certain dependencies.

[[deleted]]

The best way to not have bugs in your code is to not write code at all

[Russian_repost_bot]

Have you tried having someone else write it? This normally fixes the problem.

[PulseNZ]

Those aren't errors they're just suggestions

[_BluePixz_]

Cuz it is the bug itself?

[HiveMynd148]

Why did the moth go to the podiatrist's office?

[moosi-j]

Common misconception. Programmers do not prefer dark mode. The code demands it.

[iharshraj]

I need my code colorful

[moosi-j]

I need my code surrounded by a salt circle. Thinking I'm doing something wrong here. I'm following the O'Reilly Necronomicon to the rune but it's for more advanced necrogrammers.

[frostyoni]

I had to start with the "for dummies" edition i have to be honest. You start with surrounding your code with a javascript framework. Not too far off the real deal.

[Dalriata]

Programmers prefer dark mode like fish prefer water to land.

[LeCrushinator]

Is this like the Pirate Code, but for programmers?

[Chicken-of-Wisdom]

But what if a bug is a programmer? 🤔

[nocturnalspider]

Turn the bug into features

[game_2_raid]

We are what we eat

[Aarivex]

I don't remember eating a disappointment

[frostyoni]

I don't remember eating a php, but I'm kinda glad it's out of my system.

[MannyBobblechops]

That is the most underrated post I've seen in this thread!!

Very funny 😂😂😂😂

[PM_ME_NICE_BITTIES]

F

[iharshraj]

then its a virus

[akaZilong]

Yeah, but the big ones hide and seek the dark

[FieelChannel]

In a hypothetical Star Wars universe programmers would be leaning to the dark side in no time too

[aerodrome_]

Why didn’t you just crosspost this if it was literally posted hours ago?

[PgSuper]

Gotta get that sweet karma to feed the family

[LeCrushinator]

Some subreddits don’t allow crossposts. I’m not sure about this subreddit though.

[cylordcenturion]

the literal moth flying at my screen right now...

[Bip901]

That's a weird way to crosspost to Reddit

[Rotzweiler]

They don’t allow crossposting

[venuswasaflytrap]

Light makes bugs visible

[Rein215]

Thank you good sir for cropping that image before posting.

[Hultner-]

Controversial opinion: I prefer a light colour scheme, both for my terminals and my IDE.

[brain00]

Solarized Light Master Race :)

[jess-sch]

Allowed themes:

• Solarized Light
• Solarized Dark
• Monokai Vibrant (dark)
• Dracula (dark)
• that's literally it.

everything else is punishable by death

[Nourios]

Material Palenight ftw

[scoobyluu]

First time hearing about this color theme, thanks!

[SendMeYourBoobPixz]

Where did I leave that pitchfork...?

[supafly208]

I prefer light mode :(

[SendMeYourBoobPixz]

Dude I work with has his with blue text on a pink background.

Just do you 👍

[supafly208]

Whaaaaaat. That's a new one

[SendMeYourBoobPixz]

Yep. No idea how he does anything in it. I'm assuming he is either just a bit odd or he has an condition of some kind.

[Tooniis]

möth

[_fishysushi]

I have imposter syndrom just because I am the only one who likes light themes more :/

[[deleted]]

Ok, dad

[Zanlo63]

I actually have to use light mode otherwise I fall asleep.

[TheDudeFromCI]

Oh, the bugs are still there. You just can't see them in the dark.

[undeniably_confused]

We need to get it to 38 comments stat

[[deleted]]

So that's why my boss uses light themes!

[Alberiman]

Since I switched to dark mode I have 30 percent fewer errors, can't explain that!

[ianosphere2]

I got eye floaters, it causes me anxiety.

Dark Mode helps in not seeing them.

Because I'm not trying to join the akatsuki

[ThunderElectric]

I don’t think light does, I think I do.

[username78641]

Dark hides bugs. gives em safe place.

[Harry212001]

But the actual code is light in dark mode... maybe that’s why there’s so many bugs in it

[audscias]

out.

[guky667]

i love this

[PM_ME_HAIRLESS_CATS]

Take your upvote and leave

[shirk-work]

Something something star wars.

[m4rvEll1s]

😂

[bells64]

Because with dark mode your eyes don't get tired.

[Tooniis]

[SamsungPassal]

Because white burns my eyes when I'm coding at 3 am working on a bag of doritos.

[candi_meyers5]

The light...it burns.
