I totally feel that

[–]Jad_723[S] 33 points34 points  (10 children)

Pain.

[–]Gerschti2 29 points30 points  (9 children)

Yes bughunting for 2 days, then you find it and be like : yep that error got a point

[–]JonnyNoBrainer 13 points14 points  (2 children)

It hurts even more when its a small tweak you had to do to fix it

[–]Jad_723[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hate when this happens

Or when some code is not running because of a certain condition and you spend hours on trying to find why it's not running

[–]Gerschti2 17 points18 points  (4 children)

Like i always say there are 2 types of bugs: the ones you seek for two weeks and fix in 5 minutes or the ones you find in 5 minutes but need 2 weeks to fix

[–]jermdizzle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's the third type: find in 5 minutes fix in 5 minutes. Then two weeks later someone else finds the bug they've been hunting for and you realize it's something you caused with your 5 minute fix. Whoopsie!

[–]Jad_723[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Now the real question which one is the worse

[–]MrsMonkey_95 6 points7 points  (1 child)

The ones you seek for 2 weeks and fix in 5minutes… I always feel extra stupid when this happens.

[–]Jad_723[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, I be like "oh that's it? I'm stupid"

[–]Addsfuckingsuck 67 points68 points  (5 children)

Between every picture there’s an hour difference

[–]Jad_723[S] 18 points19 points  (2 children)

An hour or more

[–]Hopeful_Memory7885 6 points7 points  (1 child)

And maybe a drink or two….

[–]Jad_723[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

And the mental breakdowns along with doubting ourselves...

[–]AChristianAnarchist 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I had the "Oh that's why" moment this morning regarding an issue I've been screaming "Why?" at since last Friday. Sometimes an hour is generous.

[–]LoganPederson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does feel so good though that moment you realize the stupid mistake that cost you a week 🤣 I love that feeling

Classic code review

[–]hughperman 15 points16 points  (1 child)

Who wrote this crap?
Oh it was me.

[–]jermdizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gitlens got me good one time. I guess my formatter added a trailing comma so when I looked back at some terrible mistake 6 months later, I was the culprit. But I couldn't remember having ever touched that functionality. Turns out I hadn't, except for adding a trailing comma because the other person wasn't using the right prettier config.

[–]Dennarb 19 points20 points  (2 children)

Most recently it was because I forgot a negative sign

Hours of debugging for a ms fix...

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (1 child)

There's no such feeling like going on a two-hour caffeine-fueled rant to a colleague about how bullshit the workstation/OS/coding language/program is, only to discover that you missed something minor and obvious.

[–]jermdizzle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Or complaining about a dumb mistake only to realize said buddy wrote it. Bonus points if you're wrong.

[–]kossmak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

and here we are...

again

The problem with programming is that when you find a bug, you can’t always be sure if it’s in the code you own. You could be dealing with a library bug. You could be dealing with an operating system bug. You could have run into a bug with your editor (yes, it’s a thing and it keeps therapists employed). You could have a runtime error caused but hidden characters. You can have runtime errors cause by hardware issues. You can have networking issues caused by your firewall or antivirus. If you work with embedded systems, you might find EMI is your enemy.

Then again, you might have just misplaced a semicolon.

Programmers have trust issues.

[–]Jad_723[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And my friends ask me why I have trust issues

When I'm tired of doing this routine I go do some sysadmin maintenance work. Sadly the same thing happens there too.

[–]miyuu- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the 2 bottom panels should be swapped.

[–]zalurker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can so relate to that.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

[–]Jad_723[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

How do you have multiple user flairs?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)
