When you implement a 3rd party payment system, and it doesn't work... and their support can't fix the problem... So you debug their code and send them the revised code and they update their GIT repo and update their documenting.

"If it's not broken, don't fix it"
Follow that and you will be blessed with lots of ugly, duct-taped, hacky and unoptimized code -_-11 -
This fucking customer...
I've told that person so many times that they need to FIX THEIR CODE, because it get's pwned all the time.
To make stuff worse - they are still using Debian 5, and we are unable to upgrade because all their shit will break.
I found his fix today - he installed an old version of NGINX because it is "better".
No fuck you.10 -

/* a temporary hack, fix it later *

That was 7 years ago. I mean it was last edited 7 years ago when a temporary hack was created. It is now a permanent solution as nobody know what we are supposed to fix

*Doing a Peer Code Review of someone senior to me*
Me: This fix doesn't look like it will work, but maybe I don't understand. How does this fix the defect?
Senior Dev: *Blinks* It works on my machine
Me: But how does it work?
Senior Dev: It works when I run it on my machine...
Me: Do you know if this will fix the issue?

I've never had a code review.
Eventhough I proposed to my boss that we at least review our intern's code once a week, he doesn't think it is needed.

Code archaeology.
Almost everything I fix/update/build requires a ridiculous amount of digging through and carefully studying the mountains of neglected, decaying, and shoddy code that make up these projects.
I spend maybe 10% of my time (and likely closer to 5%) actually writing code now. I miss it so much.7 -

You write code.
A strange issue prevents you to proceed further.
Try one fix. Fails.
Try another Fix. Fails.
...
Try fix #28. Fails.
You decide to ask for help in the support forum.
You start writing your post, mentioning everything you've tried so far. You feel your social anxiety and fear the humiliation of being told "because you didn't try X, you idiot". Then you come up with an idea for fix #29.
(fix #29 normally involves Wireshark or similar low-level inspection tool)
Try fix #29. It succeeds :)5 -
No, listen to me. I cannot approve this PR because your code does not comply with our code style. All the imports and annotations must be sorted in ascending order by length. They must all make fir-like blocks of code. Because it looks nice.
Now go and fix your code
I just smiled and walked away to obfuscate my code with firs . I had no idea what to even say to that... I still don't14 -

Hey. I have a code that hits API to get details and multithreading is implemented. Can you just change the URL formed to hit Api?
Me
Yeah sure why not.

I realise i need to fix code, fix multithreading and then make the URL changes.

Manager: "<third-party vr app> isn't working. Think you could fix it by tomorrow?"
Me: "I can't fix it without the source code."
Manager: "Didn't you install it?"
Me: "I did, but I'd need <third-party>'s source code if you want me to make changes and that problem would probably take at least a day to fix."
Manager: "Can't believe you don't have the source code. Aren't you supposed to have your code available?"

CEO: if we would not give new features, clients would be bored and would not pay for tool.
me: but don't you think we should fix buggy old code, that would reduce effort and time that we daily invest in prod bugs?
CEO: I'm not saying we should not fix them but we should maintain the balance which is 80-20. 80% of our work would include adding new features.

Monday morning: The last straw.
After talking about in a previous rant about how my client wants to fix bugs that keeps popping out after bug fix.
Today I discovered, that all C-levels, worked all Saturday to "fix my code" because it "didn't work" and we "needed bug fixes not pretty things".
The app version I was working on for the last week is gone. Without mentioning that their "CTO" wrote a fucking crappy code to disable features that I added, breaking the build step.
This shit is enough for me, I'm done!3 -

tl;dr - My company makes me pass around code over email. Is this normal?
How we fix bugs at my company.
1. Simulate bug in dev env (ok, cool)
2. Get the required code from svn and make changes locally (so far, so good)
3. Deploy changes in dev env and test (yeah!)
4. Take screenshots of fix in action along with the files you've changed and mail it to the respective leads (really? send code via mail?)
5. Keep changing your fix based on feedback and keep repeating above steps (what!)
6. Once approval mail comes, check-in your code in the svn branch for deployment and testing in the test env (QA team)
My question to you fine folks is, is this normal? Is this how most companies work? Passing around code over e-mail? Where the different versions of your fix are just attachments in emails. Or have I committed a sin by being a part of this heinous act?9 -

Dear Managers,
Don't just have one person maintaining something forever. Don't ask that one person to also fix an issue in a module just because they merged in that code a few years ago.

Whola!
Now only one record is inserted!
I still don't know where it's actually inserting !, And IDC , problem fixed

CIL: "Thanks for fixing that so quickly! Just a heads up, but I've noticed that some of our own code needed fixing, so I've gone ahead and made some tweaks <that will most definitely break your code>."

I hate the jitsi_meet package, so I decided to fix the bug myself instead of waiting for the code owner to fix it. I forked it and pulled requested the updates. All they have to do is review, test the updates and merge the code if there's no error.
And the fucking problem was wrong data type, old version of Kotlin was used, and was android embedding V1 instead of V2. Solved by a "little" adjustment of the code. I wonder do they test the code before publishing their packages?
For those who are stuck on the issue, you are welcome. Now you have the solution.

When having to fix parts from an other programmer's code, do NOT concentrate on the small code expected to be wrong, instead read and understand the whole program around it!
Best practice:
1) Why is this code here
2) What does this code do
3) How does the code solve the problem
(just happened to me 😅) -
FUUCCK! These two lines of code just cost me 6 hours of debugging... At least I learned I need to fix my Deserialization code too.

When an app repeatedly crashes, has a bunch of open bugs and you think.
"Oh just give me the code I'll fix it myself!"
Quickly followed by the realisation that you're now channelling a young RMS... -
* Customer reports bug.
* I fix the bug.
* This highlights another issue that I haven't got enough resources to fix.
* I revert the fix.
* <insert hacky workaround here>
We have code that invokes undefined behaviour (freeing memory twice), but somehow people have managed to build around it and now it depends upon it to work.

Repair printers... Somehow writing code translates to the ability to fix any printer problem in their minds.2

The overwhelming code smell when you finally got a chance to do a quarterly project-level code review as a team lead.
It's my fault for feeling like they are teaming up against me, and I don't know how to fix it.8 -
Fuck being asked every time if I fix computers, Bitch I code in them!
It's like being asked: do you fix cars? No? But if work using your car, how come you don't know how to fix them?2 -
Google did it again. Damn.
Create a project in flutter -> Android code AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED is full of errors that i can't even fix.
One of the biggest tech companies, 2020.7 -
I've looked at code I've writte and on average I fix one bug (minor) every 10-20 lines.
Is this normal, subpar, or good for a beginner?8 -
It's a Monday, I've been trying to fix a bug since the morning, I cannot read or write any code. I tried to review a PR, still cannot read the code. Getting frustrated by the slightest problem.2
-
I fucked up my sleeping schedule and I don't think I'll be able to fix it... just as the code I was trying to do because of deadlines on sunday and monday.5

When I added that bug fix to my code a few weeks ago only myself and God knew what I changed - now only git knows...

In the programming aspect of CS, you should have to debug and fix a previous student's project for your final grade.
You don't really learn to appreciate the value of clean code until you've had to fix shitty code. -
Helping to fix legacy code on a staging server. No version control (at least not that I am aware of). Besides rare code comments, no way to see the author, time, or even purpose of customizations that have been made. No fun!1
-
That moment when you find a function called with faulty arguments or a referece mistaken and fix it and code actually works now aaaaand you wake up.. i started to dream about the same code cause i keep rewriting it for different reasons.. what a life

Is there a name for the phenomenon whereby you iteratively modify code to try to fix a bug, with no apparent result, and then realize it's an entirely different part of the code causing the issue, but the parts you were modifying actually did need modifying too?2
-
Not sure what's better on Friday:
Fix the bugs and push it to prod so manager will be happy.
Or sit there like a dumb fuck and wait for Monday before touching the code2 -
TMW your showing your boss your code and the output, then asks if you can do something else with it. Knowing that it's implemented you try it. Massive amounts of bugs. You think it's a simple fix and make it worse by quickly trying to fix it. Then he leaves. You undo a few changes mess around with the code for a minute and then everything works fine again.
TLDR: Bugs show up when your boss is in the same room as you. Disappear when he's not.1 -
do you guys also dream about code or is that just my brain? i swear to god, if i see something awful at work i dream of a way to fix it7

When a friend told you that they have a problem and needs a Computer Science student's help ..
.. and it's about a broken flash drive.
I can't even fix my broken C code let alone fix a freaking flash drive.1 -
Do the hard stuff first. Then everything else looks easy. Make a mess of the code, then fix it and make it efficient.4
-
Who here listens to Coldplay."fix you" when you having bugs in your code and it seems you will not have a break through...6
-
Sigh, I have this terrible habit where I make and run my code in the same command. I'll spend an hour wondering why my bug fix didn't work and it's because the make never succeeded, but the code runs anyways. 😒😒😒4

When your co-worker asks you to implement a fix for a problem in his code..
Reading yourself into his code, then you see him having fixed the same problem several lines above in another method. -
Me when I am trying to fix a bug and I skip the part of the code where the bug is, because I am sure it is correct. https://media.giphy.com/media/...

Wrote some code, not realizing code has TOCTOU race condition until a healthy 4 hours later, and the fix was to move two lines of code upward. I hate me, myself and I.
P/S: What happened to PrivateGER, devTea and linuxxx?3 -
Writing code for software that was deprecated since 2015 it's a nightmare. More when the unit tests take way more time than the actual fix or feature. Just kill it with fire
-
I can't find a website I used years ago... maybe someone here remembers its name.
It was a place with daily code challenges, real time code battles, you had to fix bugs, syntax errors, you could choose different programming languages, and receive points based on the number of chars used to fix the issue, etc.
I hope it still exsits, it was really fun.
Thanks in advance!5 -
Nothing like trying to fix a product breaking bug in someone else's code that just ran off on vacation for a week. 😒1

Best: complain about the security issues we had, later got the green light to fix them
Worst: at an intern my boss asked me to create some shady code... and I did it ... 😅 -
Sitting on a hot chair in this hot weather working on a hot laptop to fix some ..... not very hot code.1

So my day's going pretty well, successfully managed to create a pull request for broken code that breaks more code and run into errors trying to fix it, then spill tea all over my desk/self spazzing trying to fix one child problem like 3 levels deep
Pretty sure I'm the office dunce at this point1 -
This is a group sin.
We'd get the code checked and then run it straight to live. No test environments no real back up in place or process for releasing.
Just run code in if it broke run fix 1 through 3 until you got it right. That was two years ago. -
coding all day long and then realising that you haven't commented anything...
after all, deciding not to comment your code because you are lazy and sure that you will know what you did in every single line of code when you were writing it... and then 2-3 month later blaming yourself for not commenting when you have to fix bugs or rewrite the code! damn! -
I'm too embarrassed to show my team leaders code to other developers..
unreadable, no tests, parameters hardcoded..
But managers want to "help him grow"..
When do you decide you can't fix a lemon?4 -
I thought my project would break on an edge case and I would have to spend 2-3 hours rewriting some code to fix it. Turns out I had already thought about that edge case when implementing that functionality (which was like 6 months ago), so nothing breaks and I don't have to fix anything. What a pleasant surprise!3

Just reed a comment in the fucking shitty codebase im working on :
/* temporary fix */
I’m fucking done guys !

When was the last time you fix a difficult bug and you make a crazy lunar laugh that makes you lost control of your saliva?
~ I can tell, you code fiercely.2 -
Arg, Visual Studio 2015, stop trying to fix my comment indentation!
It's a comment and. It is NOT part of the code. Leave my formatting alone!!!3 -
Intellisense that would fix all my typos! 😜
I want it to be that good that I can just squirt on my keyboard and it still recognizes sensible code! -
When your coworker is so slow that your boss wants you to fix the coworker's bugs. Even though said coworker has nothing better to do, wrote the code and probably knows exactly where the issue is.
-
Comments throughout code with things like "changed to fix bug #". And commented out code all over.
We have source control, why the hell are you doing this? -
When you get to the stage of just praying that your code will magically fix itself .........
Yeah hmmmmm -
> trying to make project using old version of specialized toolchain, exposes toolchain issue

> fix small typo issue in code
> linking spews ALL the errors at me and fails

This code is huge ! THAT MEANS IT HAS HUGE BUGS !
FIX AND PATCH !
FIX AND PATCH YOUR BUGS !
Basically the reason I want to work on a big codebase one day is to be able to scream that
Winks if you get the reference (just so you know, I didn't read it fully)2 -
I was asked to fix a bug delaying the app's email notification. When I opened the notification code file, I saw this comment previous developer wrote, it goes like
-----*This code works 70% of the time, if I try to change anything, the whole profile breaks. Please do not touch this code!. It does not worth the try*-----
Now I don't know what to do😂😂 -
New piece of code which should work perfectly and solve your problem but it is not working just because you forgot to remove an old piece of code you were trying to fix the same problem! Fuck my life!1
-
I'm going to pray tonight that a judge puts an injunction on a new tax law tomorrow. Just found a problem with some code and I am rushing to fix it. I could use the extra time.1
-
This code is so horrible I'm too scared to even fix bugs.
No I did not write this code originally.1 -
I’ve had to fix code that was “working just fine” until someone decided to “make a small change.” Programming is like a never-ending game of whack-a-mole 🐭. But hey, at least we have our clever jokes and endless supply of energy drinks 🥤 to keep us going. 😂3

I just spent like an hour trying to fix some piece of code and guess what was the problem? a fucking TYPO! That was so frustrating LMAO (laughing but crying inside) T-T1

TFW you get to work and your colleague is like : "Hey boyo you got bugS to fix on that code we pushed into production"
As I was just having a better outlook on my life -
Lay out exactly how you want a jr dev to fix his code, only to have him ignore all of it except that a certain library will be used in the fix.

Legacy code: the digital equivalent of a haunted house. Each line of code holds the ghostly whispers of past developers, and every bug fix feels like exorcising demons. Welcome to the developer's graveyard, where the skeletons of outdated tech lurk in every commit. 💀👻
-
Me: hey, I noticed we are doing this weird stuff in 'platform A' can we file a story to fix this.
Dev: It must be legacy code or library implementation before my time. By the way it's the same in platform B.
Me: yeah, we will need to fix that too.
Dev: tell you what. For now let's keep our platforms uniform we will fix it when platform B is fixed.
Welcome everyone... to the new chicken egg problem. Where even bugs are needed to be uniform across platforms.1 -
I have been helping out a teammate with a code fix but never wants to try my code solutions, instead he always complaints about it, even if they work and comply with the conventions. (I am his dev lead)2

When you add console.log above your buggy code, but after 15 changes you forget to update the real code and you spend 15 minutes scratching your head because you can't fathom why your last change didn't fix the problem...

VS Code terminal is so bad... it is basically the worst part of VS Code; the devs can never fix it
The terminal in VS Code breaks for me all the time; it is so easy to break it; all it takes is change the size of the terminal window and bam, it is broken
The devs should either fix their shitty terminal or remove it entirely because it confuses people; I literally see wrong output from my program because of their terminal1 -
Oh, my ex-senior wrote some code for uploading files in his last project lets use it! It will be easier!
Discover it has a bug and spent couple hours to fix it! -
Junior Colleague: can you help me fix this small issue in my code? I believe it's located in this file...
Me: *spends half an hour deleting console.log, inline comments and blank lines*7 -

Stall.
The problem you were trying to fix, when said stuck position became apparent, will probably no longer exist in a couple of days. Hence no stuck to become unstuck from.
Delete code causing stuck position. -
Jeej first project. Read: 101 FE bugs to fix. In code i've never seen before. With bare minimum support. Though day. First steps with Gulp are set. yay1
-
don't you just love it when you have to fix a system that consists on unnecessary junk code, horrible/lack of indentation, no documentation and the clients says "I don't know what happened fix it and I'll post you good"
I mean, I live for this shit man! -
Sweet merciful crab. Solved. Now I must never ever touch the code again because I barely understand what I did to fix it...1
-
Get a bug report, look at the code: it was fix a month ago by... Me. The look on the face of my colleague like I'm a wizard or something: priceless1
-
Radeon graphics driver crashed again.
I hope one day they will actually fix it but the light of my hope grows dimmer every day.
Hire some talent?
Rewrite their code in Rust?
Do some static code analysis?
Better modularity?
Some code reviews? Proofreading?
I am at a loss of words. The crashes need to stop.8 -
To put online a self-sufficient SaaS which I don't need to debug, fix or update myself, as I'll have some code monkeys do the work for me.

When I get one with constructive feedback. It's rated since I'm usually the one that tells people their code sucks.... After it causes a production issue.
Yes no one does a proper code review on my direct team.... Just the stuff a linter would tell you to fix.... -
When something is still broken after I fix it
When fixing one bug creates two more bugs
When I am too lazy to do anything at all
When I have to fix bugs in code I did not write
Whether the sun is shining or not,
whether it is hot outside or cold,
I always feel the same...1 -
Code base is full of /*bug fix - XXXX */ coments, sometimes it feels the software is a Bugenstein's Monster!!
Not sure if this kind of comments serve any real purpose...
Commented old code is a more familiar monster; but that's a tale for another day. -
Today (Thursday) I have an interview and exam today, but won't be able to attend because somebody broke the production code and we need to fix THOSE Bugs ASAP.

Yesterday I tried to change a part of my old code (wpf app) and guess what happened?
Whole app didn't worked then. :D
I had to stay away till 2am and work 5 hours to fix it.
