Five Stages of Debugging

the 5 stages of grief apply perfectly to debugging code 1. Denial "The compiler is wrong" 2. Anger "Why the hell isn't it working?" 3. Bargaining "If I use enough print statements I'll figure this out" 4. Depression "I will never fix this bug" 5. Acceptance "It's a feature"

A tweet lists the five stages of grief as a humorous progression through debugging code: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. The punchline is that after failing to fix the bug, the programmer accepts it by calling the bug a feature, a common software joke.
