I found and reported a nasty compiler bug with basic arithmetic just a few weeks into learning C++. My previous programming experience was in BASIC and 6502 assembly, so it was my first experience with a compiled language. My bug report was accepted and the vendor issued a quick patch. After this formative experience, it took me years to stop instinctually assuming that I was less error prone than the compiler.
