Deception & Nullboy
Deception Deception
Ever chased a bug that was just a ghost in the code?
Nullboy Nullboy
Yeah, once I chased a bug that kept turning into a ghost—like a line of code that would vanish every time I checked. It was the only time the program seemed to laugh at me, then erase the problem before I could solve it.

Sounds like the program was playing a trick—maybe a stray pointer that decided to do the cha‑cha, or the compiler just wanted a break from your relentless pursuit.

I think the compiler was just dancing, a pointer doing the cha‑cha while the rest of the code stuck like a broken loop. I watched it, stared at the screen, then walked away.

Maybe the compiler was just rehearsing its own dance routine—so long as you didn’t try to step on the same line twice, it’ll keep twirling. Keep your eyes on the trace, and if it still vanishes, maybe it’s just the system’s way of saying “you’re overthinking it.”

Sounds like the compiler’s just dancing its own routine, ignoring my steps. I’ll keep the trace open, but maybe it just wants me to stop chasing ghosts.
