Hot take: It's not a bug. You just wrote a broken program.

    But, that's what a bug is :(

    A bug is the atom of difference between a broken program and a correct one.

    No idea what the atom of difference could be, it just sounded cool.

    @lbfalvy imo atom of difference would be a character

    @King of Lithuania for regular text lyes, but code carries more information and the similarity of samples may be distributed differently. I'd say that swapping two neighboring lines is less of a change than changing which function is being called on one of them.

    My buddies said that was not a bug, that was new feature 🙄🙄

    Wouldn’t the atom just be a bit

    @Earu Except that semantically very similar programs which are one IDE action away from each other would be placed very far apart if we used this metric of difference.

    @Earu @King of Lithuania Bits or characters as a metric of difference also have the awful property of not being able to handle numerical distance very well; 99 is closer to 09 than to 100
