the worst part about debugging for me, is i have no idea how long it will be before i can solve a single bug. it could take me 2 hours, 1 day, a week, no idea. Because i have no idea where the bug came from. I have ti go through increasingly more detailed testing cycles. Then devise more laborious testing cycles. This is why i chose not to work as a programmer. In other professions, I know i can give an estimate of the time taken to complete the task. Debugging? No real idea. What if the boss says finish it by tomorrow? I might be there all night.
