There’s an alternate universe where programmers are fixing slugs because it wasn’t a bug that died in a mainframe transistor

  I need to deslug my computer, it's getting sluggish.

    A long morning of slugfixes awaits me...

      Will you do a hotslug release today?

    At least Firehen has released new deslugging tools.

  I think that was a relay back then (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/ff/First_Computer_Bug%2C_1945.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/ff/First_Co...). Also, if the climate inside your mainframe is so humid that it attracts slugs, you have bigger problems...

    You wouldn't get the same pride in development on your liquid computer if you didn't have to wrestle with some slugs now and then :D

    I’m guessing it was mutually assured destruction.

  Etymology of "bug" goes back far more than that.
