The Reluctant Documentation Reader

Ah yes, the sacred "git commit -m 'just married'" moment every developer dreams of! Nothing says "till death do us part" like submitting a pull request during your first dance. Casey here has achieved peak work-life integration—emphasis on the no life part. His wife probably thought "in sickness and in health" didn't include "debugging in formal wear." The only thing he's pushing tonight is code, not boundaries. Somewhere, a project manager is adding "doesn't understand basic human milestones" to Casey's performance review.

Content Cycles in family tree software Asked 12 years, 7 months ago Modified 8 years, 5 months ago Viewed 286k times 1590 votes Locked. This question and its answers are locked because the question is off-topic but has historical significance. It is not currently accepting new answers or interactions. I am the developer of some family tree software (written in C and Qt). I had no problems until one of my customers mailed me a bug report. The problem is that the customer has two children with their own daughter, and, as a result, he can't use my software because of errors. Those errors are the result of my various assertions and invariants about the family graph being processed (for example, after walking a cycle, the program states that X can't be both father and grandfather of Y). How can I resolve those errors without removing all data assertions? C graph cycle assertions family-tree

A traffic light hanging by a single wire, somehow still functioning despite being completely mangled. Just like that codebase you inherited with 17 nested if-statements, zero comments, and variable names like 'temp1' and 'x42' that miraculously passes all the tests. You don't fix it because you're afraid it might actually stop working. The digital equivalent of "if it's stupid but it works, it's not stupid" – except we all know it's still stupid.

Santa's face in that last panel says it all. The kid's asking for the one miracle no amount of Christmas magic can deliver: bug-free code that runs perfectly on the first try. I've been coding for 15 years and still check Stack Overflow when my "Hello World" crashes. Some wishes are just too ambitious for this universe's physics engine.
