Philosophers in 1700s Philosophers Now "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" "If no one can reproduce the bug anymore, does it exist?"

A muscular Shiba Inu appears as a philosopher from the 1700s beside a modern philosopher wearing glasses and a black C++ shirt.

It is shared as a reaction to debugging problems and the frustrating uncertainty of bugs that cannot be reproduced.
