There is a specific kind of pain known only to developers.
It’s the moment when you test a new feature locally. It’s working. It’s fast
You sip your coffee, feeling like a genius. You deploy to production.

BOOM. 💥
Error 500. Nothing works.

🚨 Breaking News: 45 Software Engineers Discover the Revolutionary Concept of Bug Fixing! 🎉 After a strenuous week of fixing a whopping 189 bugs (which is, like, one bug per engineer per day!), the team reluctantly returns to "real work" 😅. Maybe next quarter they'll discover that fixing bugs is actually part of their job description 🤔.

We stopped roadmap work for a week and fixed 189 bugs

Discussed on Hacker News, lobste.rs and r/programming It’s Friday at 4pm. I’ve just closed my 12th bug of the week. My brain is completely fried. And I’m staring at the bug leaderboard, genuinely sad that Monday means going back to regular work. Which is weird because I love regular work. But fixit weeks have a special place in my heart. What’s a fixit, you ask? Once a quarter or so, my org with ~45 software engineers stops all regular work for a week. That means no roadmap work, no design work, no meetings or standups. Instead, we fix the small things that have been annoying us and our users: an error message that’s been unclear for two years a weird glitch when the user scrolls and zooms at the same time a test which runs slower than it should, slowing down CI for everyone The rules are simple: 1) no bug should take over 2 days and 2) all work should focus on either small end-user bugs/features or developer productivity.

Eine der ewigen Glaubensfragen: Soll man Bugs schätzen oder nicht? @OddDev hat die Diskussion wieder eröffnet und gefragt, warum sich so viele dagegen wehren. Die Antworten zeigen das ganze Spektrum: von "unmöglich, weil die Ursache unbekannt ist" bis zu "notwendig, um die Arbeit im Sprint sichtbar zu machen und zu priorisieren". Ein klares "Richtig" oder "Falsch" scheint es nicht zu geben.

I never got why people object to estimate #bugs in #Scrum. Has anyone thoughts on that? #dev #askFedi

A new version of SmashTunes was just released. I created the fix this morning, and went for a walk to enjoy the nice weather. When I returned I did the administrative work of submitting it to Apple. It was reviewed in a record time of 30 minutes!
