Ostrich Algorithm Bug Solution
Coworker: so how did you solve the bug? Me: Ostrich algorithm From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In computer science, the ostrich algorithm is a strategy of ignoring potential problems on the basis that they may be exceedingly rare. It is named for the ostrich effect which is defined as "to stick one's head in the sand and pretend there is no problem". It is used when it is more cost-effective to allow the problem to occur than to attempt its prevention.
A fake Wikipedia-style entry for the ostrich algorithm appears beneath a coworker asking how a bug was solved. The joke is that the bug was not fixed at all; it was simply ignored, like the stereotypical ostrich hiding its head in the sand. This reaction is used humorously when someone avoids addressing a rare, difficult, or inconvenient software problem.
