Me: *spends 7ish hours looking for bug in insanely poorly written javascript file to no avail.*

My boss: *spends 30 minutes reading through code* Found the problem-- this function call was missing a parameter.

Me: *wtfHowDidIMissThat*

That's why I hate shit like dynamic variables and default parameters.

That's experience at work my friends. That's why senior devs get paid big bucks. They have spent so many years reading so much code spending so many long painful nights debugging that they no longer read it they just see it.

Because u didn't KISS

throw new Exception(String "Triggered");

@b4dev So coding for 10 years and all size projects, in various languages and dealing with all kinds of bugs, issues, features, having continued to teach yourself beyond your year of graduation by consuming books upon books on coding best practices, reviewing the code of dozens of other engineers line by line over the course of a career has less bearing than "fresh eyes"?

Get real man, then why the hell is there even a distinction between senior dev and junior devs. Clearly the distinction should be between devs that have been working for 8 hours and those that have just started a session.

@CodeMonkeyG it's a combination of both

@DjSall yes, but another junior could spend another 7 hours with no luck :)

Both of them is needed just the experienced one mostly knows how to search faster
