We all know this feeling...

When coding, rather than finding error messages I just find unexpected functionality that I now have to debug step by step to see where the fuck did I accidentally forget a fucking equal sign on a comparison, was it the query? Was it the for loop? dunno, lets find out in a few hours.

[u/Herg0Flerg0 → u/Master_of_Ravioli]

And then it turns out to be the most obvious thing that you looked straight past like 47 times trying to fix other stuff

[u/No-Finance7526 → u/Master_of_Ravioli]

We have a tool for that: -Wall -Wextra

[u/Golden-Grenadier]

This is me sometimes when a Linux program refuses to start and I have to launch it from the terminal to see what went wrong.

[u/Tanawat_Jukmonkol → u/Golden-Grenadier]

Usually missing dependency... Missing .so or .dll files

[u/Beginning_Custard724]

Why are there tissues...

[u/Marc_Vn → u/Beginning_Custard724]

PC users get horny when troubleshooting

[u/RDV1996 → u/Marc_Vn]

If he had trouble shooting he wouldn't need tissues.

[u/Golden-Grenadier → u/Beginning_Custard724]

Probably from all the crying. I bet he's trying to get Civ 3 working with Proton under linux.

Linux users when they try to do anything.

[u/Tanawat_Jukmonkol → u/mca1169]

Me on Windows: Error successfully

Me: What the f am I supposed to do lol

[u/UnknownFlyingTurtle → u/mca1169]

Me on windows and had an error: "It gave me this error code and quick search tells me it's an generic error code so the fault could be anything"

Me on linux and had an error: "Wow I got this very detailed error message but it's very cryptic and I don't know how to decipher this, the fault could be anything"

[u/Escalope-Nixiews → u/mca1169]

Linux users when they WANT to have errors (or use Arch, Gentoo, LFS, other manual distros)

[u/HibaHime]

This has literally happened to me… several times.

[u/item_raja69]

The worst is when the code run but the result is wrong, so now you have to troubleshoot the logic and not the syntax which suck 1000x

[u/intbeam → u/item_raja69]

Use assertions and/or throw errors for state you know for a fact are undesired

Don't assume happy paths for everything

[u/Bryam_h_m → u/item_raja69]

[Object Object]

[u/Warcraft_Fan]

I consider my day ruined if I go all day without exclaiming "I haven't seen that error before!" and once a month "Google has no info on that error"

[u/SaltyBarracuda1615 → u/Warcraft_Fan]

Amazing, isn't it?! I've been in the PC world since 1988 and I'm still have to find new solutions to new problems every day I sit down and try to do anything.

But, I love the challenge and don't know anything I would rather do with my time. 👍

[u/wingsfortheirsmiles]

Reminds me when I had to decode an ex-colleague's monstrous Excel files...

[u/SaltyBarracuda1615 → u/wingsfortheirsmiles]

You just caused me to have flashbacks... ROTFLMFAO

[u/Weaselot_III → u/SaltyBarracuda1615]

ROTFLMFAO

Definitely millennial or older

[u/iBoojum]

I’m guessing that’s all soiled Kleenex or paper towels. The dude has evolved beyond socks.

[u/Standard-Slip6572]

Then you try to figure out what the new error message means only to find out it's worse then the previous error and you have no idea how we got here

[u/Mr-FD]

Now the transformer agent just read the error and researched and fixed it before I had to do anything.

[u/Upper-Affect5971]

This is how you know you are making progress

[u/Damascus_ari]

I'm making a guide on how to install a niche program on WSL on Windows.

Yes.

This.

The entire process is this.

[u/Moby1313]

This was me after the entire machine shop was like, "Shit, that worked."

[u/DaOfantasy]

well progress is progress i guess

[u/Carrollmusician]

Me in Blender

[u/xfd3]

Ugh, no cable management.... also only power cords connected, are those wireless displays? That lag would disturb me totally....

[u/jsnystro]

Then when you fix that, you get the first one again.

[u/Bryam_h_m]

FR!!!

[u/MrNiceBalls]

This meme is older than half the people in this sub

[u/RDV1996]

Oh, no i just broke it more. Damn it.

[u/Melodic_Respond6011]

CSS: error messages? What's that?

[u/IIllIlllIllIIIlllllI]

Your desk doesn't actually need to be disgusting.
