The bugs you find while working on something are trivial ones; the hard bugs come from integration with other components.
Additionally most software runs as a service this day, so you have fast deployment iterations to collect errors.
Even for something like games, they get OTA updates all the time, fixing bugs that were only found while people were playing the game.

This is a pretty simple sentence in straightforward English. Which word do you have a problem with?
- CyberDildonics 3y agoWhat is it exactly that you think you're replying to? All this was about was someone thinking there was no use for debug builds. You're hallucinating some sort of discussion or argument about distributed software, services, updates, none of it is even coherent to what is being talked about.

Obviously, as I pointed out, a real programmer needs to be able to debug optimized builds. Maybe you should be the one tracking what you're replying to.
- CyberDildonics 3y agoDid you get mixed up and think that people saying that debug builds are crucial for iterations means that they were saying no one ever needs to debug an optimized build?
- shrimp_emoji 3y agoI will not let you get the last word in this one, CD.
- CyberDildonics 3y agoWhy not?
