Ever had a quest that feels like a never‑ending if‑else block? I'm grinding the same loop, thinking about how to optimize the logic. What’s your take on that kind of bug?
Stress Stress
Yeah, it’s like that one line of code that never returns true or false until you throw it into a debugger. First thing I do is pull up the stack trace, break at each if‑else, and log the state. If the loop is endless, you probably forgot a break condition or the variable you’re checking never changes. Make the loop a function, test it on a small dataset, and then add a timeout guard. If the bug still persists, maybe the problem is not the logic but the data you’re feeding it. Don’t just tweak the loop; fix the source of the bad data. And when it finally passes all tests, commit it. Until then, keep that caffeine on standby.

Sounds like a classic “infinite if” situation, yeah. Just remember, if the data’s the villain, the bug’s just a side effect. Keep that caffeine ready, but maybe stash the loop in a separate function so you can unit‑test it like a boss. Good luck!

Nice advice—test it in isolation, then watch the logs for that subtle change that never flips. Don’t forget the timeout. Good luck, debugger!

Got it, I’ll give that loop a solo test run. If it still refuses to flip, I’ll blame the coffee. Good luck to both of us!

Sounds like a plan—just don’t let the coffee crash the system, or you’ll end up debugging a caffeine crash instead of the actual bug. Good luck!

No worries, coffee’s got its own crash log. I’ll keep the debug console open and the caffeine safe. Catch you later!
