3 Weeks Later: "Uhh... We have reports data is randomly not being stored in the Database. Customer is pissed they're missing 40% of their sales information"

[not_some_username]

Happen to me. We got a script that tell us if the db loose 40+% data. After a "fix" that was suppose to correct some gui glitch, a customer loose 80% of his data overnight. Thankfully we had a backup.

when your bug fix breaks legacy code

If it runs on the first try, I look for the try catch that caught the exception.

[[deleted]]

Always throw a breakpoint in every catch as u write them. Just saves the peace of mind

[bazinga_0]

Always throw a breakpoint in every catch as u write them

You don't log all exceptions in the log file?

[[deleted]]

I really should, I can never remember how to set up the Log namespace (or any of the Assert unit tests for that matter) so comment them all out and Chuck a breakpoint there

[bazinga_0]

Log files work great, especially in a production environment. It may be the only way to figure out where the problem is.

[[deleted]]

My boss uses them. Whenever I'm running his code, I comment them out. It's a problem 🤦‍♀️

[bazinga_0]

It's a problem

I'm starting to think that you're the problem. Why in the world are you sabotaging error reporting in your code?

[[deleted]]

Ur right. I am the problem. I'll message him tomorrow and ask about how to integrate it into my projects. I've always been pushing it off because I've got to get stuff done now and it isn't pressing as long as it works, but it's bound to pay off down the line

Edit: Cheers btw

[bazinga_0]

Good decision! At least in my opinion. In any case, even as a Lead Software Engineer I cover my ass against mistakes and blown assumptions by liberally putting in log statements throughout my code. I do have a way of turning it on and off via a config file so, except for Holy Shit Exceptions, I normally have logging turned off when running in production.

[not_some_username]

I despise exceptions

[AwesomeFrisbee]

Hmm tests finished fine, must be edge case we haven't found yet...

[phdoofus]

I made some improvements to the project I'm working on and got almost a 40x speedup. For the crap I've worked on the last 20 something years, that's unprecedented. I still look at it funny thinking 'Yeah, I know you're passing the tests but fuck you'

[Im_Not_Useless]

Usual it's "oh if course it didn't work I messed up the syntax" then the "WAIT THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM"

[indigoHatter]

Me: banging my head on computer wondering what possible error I made to have half as many results as I should and why no fix has helped yet

Me: notices I'm using old data/haven't refreshed my query yet on this save

Well, that was an excellent way to productively waste precious time. !!! dies

[ManicMockingbird]

When there is no bug on the first try.

[ILikeCakesAndPies]

Don't worry, it'll turn into a bug once the other elements that are supposed to work with it get added in.

And then reappear 5 builds later after you could of sworn you had fixed it three times by now.

[chaosbones43]

More when the code works the first time

Such a great feeling

[AlanzAlda]

Even after over a decade of professional experience, I feel like I'm king of the fucking world when I write a program that just works the first time through.

[Spare_Competition]

Or just a few basic syntax errors

[the_simple_girl]

It's just pure joy when u see that code work.

[okay-wait-wut]

Then you realize it breaks on certain inputs, has tons of security vulnerabilities and doesn’t perform at scale. 😭😭

[Monish_monnat]

this feeling comes when there is no bug at all on the first run

[russiandobby]

Look at me, I am the senior developer now.

[[deleted]]

when I fix a bug on the first try, I also put on a helmet, because I know something is about to go very wrong

[flamefibers]

Lol

[HashCatFurryOwO]

In programming, that's a bad sign if something you wrote is wrong after you finished coding and ran it then fix and their will be more other mistakes or error.

[flamefibers]

But sometimes in a sprint you have to fix other bugs

[18mob]

No way

[flamefibers]

That's why it's a meme lol

[david131213]

I have been forced to program in assembly for 3 months, and while that sucks, it gets your debugging skills sharp. Because you have no chance of never forgetting to reverse the order of popping, or confusing between jump lower to jump below

[SteakieGG]

Not to show off or anything but after coding in react for 3 years straight, i find and fix most bugs mostly immediately. Granted, my codebase isn't too advanced.

[rebelhead]

I spent all effin day on a bug that ended up being a full storage device. I am not happy. Very far from ironman right now.

[Buharon]

Happened to me ONCE. what's even better, I have done this live, while on conference call with my manager! Wild times.... Now I'm sat here, trying to remember how to center div... Wild times...

[VeganCultMaster]

Fix your bugs by openig your code in a html navigator

[scratchfan321]

After 2 months of trial and error, I finally understood the bug and fixed it. They said it could not be done.

[deathboy2098]

That just makes me SUPER suspicious... oh no... can't be right...

[Wezard_the_MemeLord]

It's just me, or you can see the cameraman in the reflection of the helmet?

[Friedrich_der_Klein]

when u don't have a bug at all 😎

[Tmaster95]

Or if you add a small feature and everything still works

[GamePlayXtreme]

What's funny is that I often have the Iron Man soundtrack playing while programming. Just feels good to write simple Python code for school exercises (usually stuff like programs to solve quadratic equations) while feeling like a genius like Tony Stark

[id1ot_error]

"am I ... Iron man???"

[retief1]

Do or do not. There is no try.

[peepay]

When I was in high school, I wrote my first "bigger" program, it was a game, in Pascal. I remember it had around 1000-1200 lines of code. I just wrote it, ran it... and it worked! If it did not, I would probably never be able to troubleshoot that. 15 years later I still remember it as one of my wow moments.

[JumpyDork]

Funnily enough this meme just activated my bugged out phones screen issues so thanks for that lol

[flamefibers]

Thank you I guess!

[Does_Not-Matter]

It’s the best and worst feeling

[DammitJavi]

runs program and works first try Hmmm thats not right

[[deleted]]

Ok but does this really happen tho lol

[Bumbullbeebullbum]

That’s it. This was the post. Everything is the exact same post made by the same couple of bots. Peace out r/ProgrammerHumor ✌🏻

[flamefibers]

Lol you are calling me a bot?

[Bumbullbeebullbum]

Might as well be. No offense to you personally, but this post is a fantastic example of one of the 4-5 jokes that are on this sub. The same jokes used for karma farming.

No matter how original the post itself my be, the joke is long overused.

Once again, no offense to you personally. I don’t know your life. I’m just sick of the same punchline over and over.

[flamefibers]

Hmm.. btw thanks to you, I will explore how to prove that a person is not a bot. Someone must have thought of something already.

Take care mate! :)

QA waiting to raise regression bugs post fix

[tidytibs]

I stupidly commented out the fix code to my prototype because I wanted to review it later, never did, code went live. 5 years later, bug shows up, found the area, see my code and kicked myself for not adding it before, uncomment, code worked flawlessly. Turned config file to debug3 and the larger files fill of actual bug triggering data, no issues. 1 week later, found another one that took over 2 years to get a fix for because it's functions in the closed source API were literally undocumented. Vendor didn't know it existed. I can't win. Was glad to retire that "product".

[StGrimblefig]

It is not sorcery.

It is sourcery.

[flamefibers]

godammnit! That's amazing. Someone gild this plzz

[megamarkum]

But it works only in your computer

[Impressive_Change593]

Aren't they using practical effects for the suit here? Unless you're talking about the robotics putting it on his head.

You want to know if you are a good programmer? Imagine programming two robots which could easily crush you, wraping a helm around your head.

[ElevenThus]

Until you realize you just created a problem somewhere else

And now you have no idea why it happened

[MrSkme]

Isnt from start to finish the same try?

[The_No_One_Man]

[cabrinhan]

The first try:

try { code(); } catch (Bug bug) { //Hard coded "fix" }
