Hot take: It's not a bug. You just wrote a broken program.

But, that's what a bug is :(

A bug is the atom of difference between a broken program and a correct one.

No idea what the atom of difference could be, it just sounded cool.

@lbfalvy imo atom of difference would be a character

@netikras for regular text lyes, but code carries more information and the similarity of samples may be distributed differently. I'd say that swapping two neighboring lines is less of a change than changing which function is being called on one of them.

My buddies said that was not a bug, that was new feature 🙄🙄

Wouldn’t the atom just be a bit

@Earu Except that semantically very similar programs which are one IDE action away from each other would be placed very far apart if we used this metric of difference.

@Earu @netikras Bits or characters as a metric of difference also have the awful property of not being able to handle numerical distance very well; 99 is closer to 09 than to 100
