Catching The Bug Before The Client

Description

A blurry baseball broadcast frame shows Tampa Bay Rays player Evan Longoria turning and reaching out near a woman on the field, as if intercepting a fast incoming ball at the last second. The lower-third graphic visibly reads "Evan Longoria" and "Tampa Bay Rays." The sibling caption says, "Fixing a huge bug before the client have the time to notice it," turning the sports moment into a developer metaphor. The technical joke is about quietly catching a severe defect before it reaches a client, where the save is dramatic but the ideal outcome is that nobody outside engineering ever learns it happened.

Anonymous ★ Top Pick The best hotfix is the one where the client never sees the stack trace and you never admit how close the ball was.

    you're both copying from r/ProgrammerHumor

    1. @TERASKULL 5y

      and r/ProgrammerHumor consists of a group of wannabe coders and CS students, that only joke about missing semicolons, copypasting from Stackoverflow and Javascript Bad.

        Js bad is an old meme but still true

  4. @TERASKULL 5y

    rarely there are good posts that reach hot. Read some comments there, people are tired of the same reposts and bad jokes.

  5. @TERASKULL 5y

    the mods there don't give a shit and they perfectly know the state of the sub.

  6. @TERASKULL 5y

    let's just wait for a new sub without kids. Like r/ProgrammerHumor 2.0

  7. @TERASKULL 5y

    That's because the sub is not an API, no need for semantic. Just burn the whole place down and make a new one.
