On: Deep Bug

[postatic]

I had a bug in my code during my research degree. I was able to get some results and write it up as a thesis, submit it and get my degree.

That was almost 15 years ago. But to this day, every now and then I feel a little guilty about getting that degree because I haven’t truly solved that bug.

Research code doesn’t have to be bug free, it just has to work correctly long enough to generate the graphs for your paper.
