Comments on: The Pain Of Debuggery Wow... I've had tense debugging sessions, none involving ducking real blood and gore at the same time... An early job of mine to work on custom software for the research branch of the local aquarium, a system that ran in a small, dark room filled with computer screens in a 100ft research vessel. Code was well-engineered, easy to work with and changes could be made literally on the fly... But...being the only programming hire familiar with the tools, they would've preferred me working directly alongside the researchers in that room. Boats and me, we do not mix. Never have and never will. May not have been bloody, but I'm sure the amount of gore would be comparable. Wow, I'm getting seasick just thinking of that hypothetical debugging session, I think I'll go nap for a bit. ;)Anyway, great story! These #altdevblogaday postings will be published in book form someday, I'm sure.
