This is a collection of absurd, humorous stories about QA Engineers.
Today's story: "The Time I Spent 5 Hours Debugging a 1-Byte Off-By-One Error"
In a world where every bug was a matter of life and death, QA Engineer, Bob, was on a mission.
The bug was a 1-byte off-by-one error in a critical loop, causing the entire system to freeze every 3 hours.
Bob spent 5 hours in the debugger, his eyes bloodshot, his sanity slipping away with each passing minute.
He tried every trick in the book: print statements, printfs, even bribing the compiler with an extra cookie.
In the end, it was a lone line of code that did the deed: `int i = 5; for (i; i > 0; i--);`
Bob face-palmed so hard, the earth quaked.
