Ostrich Algorithm Bug Fix
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 coworker asks how the bug was solved, and the speaker responds with a mock Wikipedia definition of the “ostrich algorithm.” The punchline is that the bug is not actually fixed; it is simply ignored, like the ostrich effect of pretending a problem does not exist. This is used as a sarcastic reaction to lazy debugging or deliberately avoiding technical problems.
