The Law Of Bug Conservation

Content The debugger Xcode has a built-in debugger. Unfortunately, a debugger doesn't actually get the bugs out of your programs; it just lets them crash in slow motion so you can get a better idea of what is wrong. Like a police detective, the debugger lets you dig through the evidence after the damage has been done, in order to find the scoundrel who did it.

The gradual descent into madness every developer experiences when they convince themselves comments are unnecessary. "I'll remember what this code does" is the battle cry of the optimistic junior, while the clown makeup represents the inevitable reality check six months later when you're staring at your own hieroglyphics wondering what dark magic you were attempting to summon. Future You will absolutely hate Past You for this decision. The final form—full clown regalia—is what you deserve when you realize the code that "only you will work on" is now being assigned to the new hire who keeps asking why there's a function called fixThisLater() with zero explanation.

THE ABSOLUTE PARANOIA OF MODERN DEVELOPMENT! 😱 Writes literally ONE semicolon and IMMEDIATELY smashes both autosave AND Ctrl+S because heaven forbid that masterpiece of syntax gets lost to the digital void! Like the code is the next Shakespeare sonnet that must be preserved for future generations! The trust issues with IDE autosave are REAL - it's there, it's working, but ARE YOU WILLING TO RISK IT? No, you are NOT! Manual save or DIE trying! The relationship between developers and the save button is more committed than most marriages!

The elegant architecture you craft in your head vs the janky spaghetti code that actually makes it to production. Every developer swears they're Jack Sparrow when designing their solution, but when the deadline pressure hits, we all turn into the bootleg knockoff version. After 15 years in this industry, I've accepted that my mental models are just elaborate lies I tell myself before the reality of git commits sets in. The expectation vs reality gap in programming is wider than the ocean Captain Jack sails on.

Content Another Dense Developer DenseDeveloper UnethicalLifeProTip. Forget posting development questions on stackoverflow. For a faster more accurate fix, frame your question as a bug and post it on whatever frameworklib's github page your using.
