The Hardest Bugs To Spot Are Sometimes The Easiest To Fix
Have you ever wondered why the hardest bugs to spot are sometimes the easiest to fix? Me too. I’ve encountered many situations where I knew what I needed to fix but had no idea how to fix broken code. I’d look and look forever in frustration for a solution and finally I would find it. The solution was usually that I would add maybe just one or a few lines of code in the right places and the functionality of the application would work as expected.
It’s crazy to spend hours tracking down a problem and to realize all i had to do was use a few lines of code. I guess that’s just the way it works some time.
