Welcome to the 37th edition of Coding Jag brought to you by LambdaTest!đ
If debugging is the process of removing software bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them inâ â Edsger Dijkstra
True that! Often in the process of development, you might have a bug slipping in. It might be minuscule in nature but can cause a series of issues in your software and some issues can be extremely fatal. The Boeing 787 bug is just one example of how it required a system reboot every 51 days or it could lead to total loss of control!
Fixing a bug takes 30 times longer than writing a code! đ€Ż What is the solution to this? How can you write bug free code? These are the common questions you might have and would be expecting some magical solution to such problems. But the solution is a more obvious one - Ground Rules!
Find out more about these basic principles we need to focus along with some more amazing reads in this edition.
