debugging

TAGS: None

I was reading a novel by Ellen Ullman called “The Bug” and I came across
a quote that made me think of you.

“Debugging: what an odd word. As if “bugging” were the job of
putting in bugs, and debugging the task of removing them. But no.
The job of putting in bugs is called programming.”

If you see me hands bent over the keyboard, clacking away, with the
door closed, likely I am bugging. However, I’ll keep the term “bugger”
off of my business cards and resume for the time being.
