What's the Problem, Anyway?

When faced with an issue, a true master of bug-squashing will first question the existence of the problem itself.

Is it really a bug? Or is it just a feature?

Maybe the problem is just a symptom of a larger issue, like a poorly designed database or a lack of coffee in the break room?

Or perhaps it's just a Tuesday.

Advanced Bug-Squashing Moves

• Redirect to a fake 404 page
• Claim the problem is someone else's fault
• Blame the user

Better Lies to Tell the Boss

When faced with a deadline, a good bug-squasher will know exactly what to say to the boss:

• "It's fixed, but I'm still debugging it"
• "It's not a bug, it's a feature"
• "I'm just waiting for the coffee machine to finish brewing"

These are just a few examples, but the possibilities are endless.

Remember, the key to successful bug-squashing is to never actually fix the problem.

Happy bug-squashing!
