Denial: The First Stage Of Debugging

Content RandyWatson 2y 1 Award You're just using the wrong strategy. When I was a new developer someone taught me the secret. You can't just post the question you want the answer to. That gets you nowhere. Instead, post the code you want fixed with some stupid question. Brag about how awesome your code is and even question why dumb developers don't use the techniques you are employing. The more condescending the better. The way you should phrase your question must incorporate blaming other developers for your problem like, "How do I make my awesome code work with this idiot's shitty excuse for an API that I'm required to use because my boss is a dumb ass Then post your code. Your code will be tuned to perfection by angry devs everywhere. They will explain every piece of it to you likely in the most easy to understand (think condescending) way they can because you're an idiot noob who thinks their code is actually good. This will not be a nice explanation, but will be super clear to make sure you understand what an idiot you are. Plus, you will get every finely tuned code snippet possible to fix your solution. You just have to ignore all the mean shit the devs say to take you down a peg. Ask an honest question as a new developer, expect one of two things to happen: crickets or an insult about how you didn't bother to search for the answer. Reply 1.4K

Content robin dreamsofsloth the first thing our new hire did was fix a bug that's been bugging him forever as a user prior to joining. he then breathed a sigh of relief and submitted his two weeks' notice. wtf??

Ah, the classic tale of CS degree expectations vs. reality. That first panel shows the innocent joy of someone who thinks "Hello World" is the hardest thing they'll ever code. Meanwhile, the second panel captures that sinister knowledge that Data Structures is lurking around the corner like a final boss with seventeen health bars. It's that beautiful moment when you realize you've basically invited your friend to a party where the appetizers are cupcakes but the main course is existential dread served with a side of recursive binary tree traversals.

The tweet starts with a classic clickbait about "guys only wanting one thing" but then reveals the true object of desire: code that compiles perfectly with zero errors and warnings. That green progress bar showing all 22,307 tests passed in 681ms? That's not just satisfaction—that's ecstasy . The exit code 0 is basically the programming equivalent of "mission accomplished." Developers spend countless hours chasing this mythical beast, only to have it disappear with a single misplaced semicolon. And yes, it is disgusting how much joy we feel when everything just works.
