The Emotional Journey of Fixing a Bug

Written by Lede Adeniyi under Slice of Life 9 months ago - 3 minutes read

It’s Saturday and I pretty much have nothing to do
I should fix that bug from yesterday 🤔
Should only take a minute or two
This‘ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience (if you know, you know)

One Minute In

That doesn’t work
How about this?
That doesn’t work either
That’s… That’s not supposed to happen
No big deal, let me just try…

Three hours In

I have other things to do but I really need to see this through
I’m so hungry
It’s been three hours?!
I should probably take a walk
I fixed it!
In your face!
Oh no, I broke something else
*Curses*
Everything is pointless
Why do we even exist?
I hate myself
Why did I choose this path?
Should’ve been a gym instructor” (as if)

Five hours In

It’s only been five hours, no big deal
It’s only eating up my Saturday
I have no life anyway
Holy Sh*t that fixed it?
Just like that?
Why didn’t I think of that?

I should go get dinner.
