I'd argue human developers also enjoy finding bugs, they just don't like HAVING them.

I LOVE finding bugs.

I HATE looking for them

no, but I used to have one. He didn't like looking for them either.

And the bugs are always in the last lines of code you check. It's so infuriating! Why can't they be in the first?

You're not desperate enough for them to reveal themselves to you yet

Because you stop searching when you find the bug.

You have to not execute

lines[] = Load(file.code);

bool bug_found = false;
i=0;
while(!bug_found)
{
  bug_found = findBug(lines[i]);
  //looks like I missed a bit, lemme fix
  if(bug_found)
  {
    break;
  }
  i++;
}
bug_fix(lines[i]);
// Who'd've thought that I'd need to fix a bug in a joke about fixing bugs
// Now that's some tasty irony ^-^'

You have to run

lines[] = Load(file.code);

def bugs[];
a = 0;
for(i=0;i<lines[].length();i++)
{
  if (findBug(lines[i])
  {
    bugs[a] = lines[i];
    a++;
  }
}
for(b=0;b<=a;b++)
{
  bug_fix(lines[b]);
}

shouldn't b loop until it's <a instead of <=a ?

Spiders and programmers both need bugs to be able to eat

You may not like it, but this is what peak software engineering job security looks like.

Particularly Penetration Testers.

Especially if the test subject is your mom.

Or the local IT Transfem :3

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I love finding bugs, and then squishing them.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Absolutely not true

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I enjoy finding the bugs

The problem is the existence of the bugs

[–] multifariace@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

What about the scorpions!

That web developer might be an undercover product tester.
