I still remember my First Time. As a very novice coder (it was in the 1980s so I was young) I was using Microsoft C 3.0 (I think) and couldn't believe my program didn't work. It took understanding the assembly to discover that it was a compiler bug. It shook me to the core; before I had never even imagined that something like this could be wrong.
I later did find bugs in GCC (version ~ 1.37), but since it's pretty robust these days, notably the regression suite is a lot better than it used to be.
