Finding Subtle Bugs Takes Time

I've been lucky today - I finished a good chunk of code this morning and now I'm able to watch my ticker plants run. It's a funny thing, finding the subtle bugs takes time. You have to watch the code run, ask questions, monitor log files - all these things take time, and it's that phase of polishing an app that's very rewarding.

If you have a distributed app you need to monitor the load and rebalance things as needed. That takes more time.

I've been luck this morning to be able to take this time and really study what's happening. I've found a few bugs, and those would not have been easy if I were in a hurry as they weren't serious crashing issues. Still, they needed to be fixed.

It's nice to have a little time to watch and monitor the work you've done. It's really very rewarding.
