Fixing interface with "temporary" solution
PS: please hide it from electricians (even hobbyist). It can scary them to death.

A more experienced friend told me
"don't be a pussy, test in production"
I'm the one fixing the bugs, not him

I recently had the problem with my Galaxy S8 that my camera won't focus. Searched for solution. Found one which said: "Just hit the side of your phone when the camera is on."
Problem fixed, camera focuses again.
I like this kind of problem fixing.2 -

Late in the afternoon right before closing time I wandered into a lunch-having nice little place. There was noone and my sleep-deprived self ordered an espresso. The ~25yrs old barista was kind and smiling and while I was adding some milk to my coffee she suddenly asked:
'Are you an IT guy?'
In shock I said: 'Okay, yes, I do wear glasses and drink coffe, but how did you know?'
'I didn't, but... my printer isn't working at home, can you tell me why?'
At this point I bursted out in laughter and realized that to most people I am a printer fixer. We all are, aren't we?8 -
I will grab some food after fixing this bug, aaaaaannnnddddd you haven't eaten anything from 2 days.4

Just spent 3-4 hours trying every possible solution for fixing a strange bug. Turned out it was caused by a closing tag in the wrong place...3

My internship is coming to an end and I think my boss is testing my limits.
So, in the beginning of this week, he assigned me a non reproducible bug that has been causing trouble to the whole team for months.
Long story short, when we edit or create a planned order from the backend, once in fifteen, a product is added to the list and "steals" the quantity from another product.
Everyone in the company has experienced this bug several times but we never got to reproduce it consistently.
After spending the whole week analyzing the 9 lines of JS code handling this feature, reading tons of docs and several libraries source code. I finally found a fix by "bruteforce testing" with selenium and exporting screenshots, error logs and snapshots of the html source.
This has been intense but was worth the effort, first, I fix a really annoying bug and second, I learned a lot of things and improved my understanding of Javascript.6 -
Super stressed.
What I did is:
1. git pull --rebase
2. Forgot to build to check if everything is working after pulling new changes
3. git push
4. Now, I realized I forgot to implement a method of the recently changed interface.
It's a production code. Not a joke. And was my first push to prod and I messed it up.
Sad life. Fixing it. Senior Devs must be crazy for my silly mistake.8 -

when you intentionally break something you just spent a lot of time fixing just so you can understand what fixed it

Well look at me, high as fuck and drunk past reasoning fixing the production environment. Wish me luck.1

CoWorker: I fixed the code so it doesn't throw any errors or warnings anymore.
What He did? Well.. he just commented the whole important part and it's my turn now to really fix this C mess.1 -
I've seen a few posts on here; exclaiming their disdain when it comes to people finding out about how good they are with computers. And while yes Programming has nothing to do with "fixing" computers; I myself don't mind fixing other people's computers. It's fun and it's usually not completely related to programming. So that means I'm not really doing my job outside of the office.

Accidentally mistyped Bug Fixes as Big Fixes and people think there was something very wrong with the application all this while.1

I'm so happy that I have the first working version of the program. Just couple of bug fixing and unit testing and I'll push the code to production.
Day 1: Just couple of bug fixing and unit testing and I'll push the code to production.
Day 2: Just couple of bug fixing and unit testing and I'll push the code to production.

Day 200: Just couple of bug fixing and unit testing and I'll push the code to production.

Replaced camera in my phone, it arrived when I was heading to the pub so after 3 beers I came back and everything works now.

Since there has been a lot of talk about fixing printers lately.. Who creates them and their internal software/drivers!?4

The feeling of fixing an annoying bug is much better, than the feeling of finding something good in the fridge.

Just realized being a developer means fixing bugs that were caused by fixing other bugs that were caused by fixing the other bugs.

Time for relaxed bed time after fixing that m'fucking bug i've been looking for the ladt 3 hours. Best feeling.1

The day has come where I was asked to fix some windows issue of a coworker (not an IT guy) at home. Some data sharing issue in the homenetwork.
Ok, told him I've never set up anything like this but could take a look at it.
Got it fixed after 1-2hours and he was nice enough to pay me for my time.
I'm not even mad, that is nice :)
While I fixed stuff for a friend multiple times who is richer then me who can't take me to the next tram stop by car after a meeting since it's not on her way. Damn.3 -
So I've been back to work for 2 weeks after going on a holiday. Getting back into the flow of things was easy, but seeing the status of the project that I am a part of, and seeing the kind of implementation work that my co-workers has done, it's kind of a no surprise.
So the past 2 weeks I've been completing features that I left my co-workers to finish, but didn't. And rewriting other features that they worked on, but does not meet the specifications.
Will I ever be able to work with reliable/competent developers? -
Fuck you, magento and yes, fuck you, customer as well.
After 2 days of fixing crucial things like missing discount functionalities, taxes being displayed as 'tax' because some monkey hardcoded the term in the template instead of getting the tax class name and overall fumbling in magento's core just to make this broken shit do its job, the customer emails me, asking if we're making 'progress at all because the test link looks pretty unfinished'
Burn in hell, you two!12 -
Thank drunk me for making a backup.
My day could have been a whole lot worse.

My day today? Fixing bugs caused by the Change to the Summer time here in Germany.
Congratulations. #nice2 -
My pair partner and I managed to break every feature test written by our 16 strong team today while fixing a login form. Fixing other people's non-refactored rspec tests is not a pleasant experience lol

In the process of fixing a bug, have you ever made your program better without actually fixing the bug?
I feel like it happens a lot to me. -
Debugging and fixing other shit when needing to work on an enhancement.
I think it's procrastination, but in the end the thing I'm fixing actually works as intended, so I don't have to lay eyes on it anymore... -

It is on this day i feel inspiration.
Its taken 14 hours to debug the physics and math behind a particular mechanism in the project I've been assigned to for months now.
But I got it right, and fuck is that feeling incredible. It's that feeling that makes me want to continue to do what I do. So fuck you, you obscure, brain fuck of a bug. You will not win EVER! I WILL find you, I WILL make sense of you, and I WILL destroy you. -
Me: Writes tests while fixing bug
Supervisor: "I'd suggest fixing other bugs and then picking up test cases"
Well the reasons we have so many bugs is that you let our off-shore devs just write code with ZERO code coverage!! -

When your IDE is installed a so fucked-up way you have to launch it with root privileges for it to start, you can't manage to find a good Git GUI client, and you already wasted 3 hours trying to solve both problems without fixing anything... You know it's time for you to get the hell off your PC, cry out and get some sleep.21

In my experience programming, there's nothing scarier than fixing 29 errors, fixing the 30th error, debugging the script, and seeing you just made 70+ errors by fixing the last 30 errors.

Fixing a pretty serious bug affecting a core functionality but that no one has noticed and no one will thank you for fixing
OR
Continue working on your feature2 -
I have a changed a project that has many many many bugs because of outdated code that kept it from working. In the process, I changed the structure of some feature implementations in order to get the application to work again. Can this be considered refactoring, or is it just a special kind of bugfixing?
Also, can I call something a rewrite even though I'm not actually writing anything, just using a GUI environment to create the same functionality again?
I need this because I'm writing about what I'm doing for my university and I can't find it on google - I guess it's opinion based.1 -
3 devs, one and myself are new hires. I started a week after the other new guy and my 3rd week of training is next week.
The other devices has been fixing what the Swift 3 update broke. We realized next update we will be fixing it. Time to learn Swift!
