Debugging

You know how when you’re debugging code and instead of using the debugger you just put in log messages, so you can trace where the program actually gets to?

Yeah, well the actual messages used tend to be different for each developer. Here’s a sampling of some of ours.

We see a file of source code, with various log messages included.

Iain's: "bleh"

Steve Strowes': "cunt cunt cunt"

Louise's: "little tiny magnets!"

Matt's: "SHARKS ALL AROUND"

Neil's: "If we get to this line then I'll let Maddy go."

Tooltip: I'm also particularly fond of Anchorman quotes. Great Odin's Raven!

   Heh, reminds me of the frantic grepping the night before group project hand-in, to get rid of the obscene and just pure scatological comments and printlns from the web crawler.

   This is why I love adding a simple -v flag option for anything like that, so you only print out the obscene comments and debug notes if told to. I’m not much into Cocoa right now, but this words well in other languages.
