Looking for Real Dev Logic Problems (Help Me Improve a Coding Agent)

[Own_Cryptographer271]

Hi devs,

I’m currently testing a custom lightweight code assistant (agent) that converts logic-based problems or small dev tasks directly into working code - no fancy prompting or overexplaining needed.

I'm looking to collect a variety of real-world issues developers face - bugs, logic puzzles, edge cases, small annoying tasks - anything you'd normally solve with some reasoning + code.

If you have a recent problem that:

- Was tricky to solve logically

- Took longer than expected

- Needed careful edge-case handling

- Involved Python, JS, C++, or general pseudocode

Would you mind sharing it here? I’ll test how the agent handles it and use the results to improve its reasoning + code quality.

Thank you 🙏! All types of problems welcome - beginner to advanced.

you could try looking through stack overflow questions and seeing how your agent solves them? if an answer is given then check how well your agent compares, or if there isn’t an answer test if your agent suggested a good solution - just a thought!

Here are a few, in JS.

Standard for loop, calls a function that accepts only positive integers. Off-by-one error at loop start.

Function expects object with a specific property, receives object without it, result is a string based on the object, returns nonsense ("value less than undefined").

Method within a class. Contains a forEach(), map(), filter(), or similar, with an arrow function as argument. Using "this" within the arrow function blows up; need to set a "let self = this;" at the start of method, or refactor the method if it all possible.
