Just a random thought that gave me a chuckle
Today, I stumbled upon a mind-boggling quote that left my brain circuits doing somersaults: "bad code can't be debugged, neither can good code." Now, I don't know about you, but that got me scratching my head harder than a cat with an itch.
I mean, think about it – this quote does ring true to a degree: bad code, by definition, usually cannot be saved by debugging; good code, on the other hand, does not need debugging.
So now I am wondering: then why is the concept of debugging ever invented?
Could it be that this quote is nudging us to embrace the process rather than the destination? Maybe debugging isn't about capturing that elusive perfect code unicorn. Perhaps it's the journey that matters – the lessons learned, the brainpower expanded, and the camaraderie forged with fellow code cowpokes in the trenches of troubleshooting.
