alt Hacker NewsIf I told someone I spent a week debugging a problem these days I think I would get laughed out of the call. Even a day might hit somw chuckles.
If you cant fix the bug just slop some code over it so its more hidden.
This is all gonna be fascinating in 5-10 years.

This does depend on who you are; If you're a senior with 10+ years of experience, it's a failure of your abilities to cut your losses or know when to seek help if you take far too long debugging something.
But for juniors, it's invaluable experience. And as a field we're already seeing problems resulting from the new generations of juniors being taught with modern web development, whose complexity is very obstructing of debugging.

This really does feel like a mass hysteria event. Bizarre to have to live through it.
