Lightning Talk: Developer Grief
summary
Claims that debugging follows five stages of grief: denial (blaming the user or hoping the Jira ticket is wrong), anger during root-cause work with a debugger and logs, bargaining while negotiating fixes and trade-offs with PMs, depression when architecture gets patched with ifs and else and try and catch, and acceptance when a tested fix ships. Concrete cues: a Jira ticket, debugging, changing code, and a release that finally works.
