There are no bugs. Just happy little accidental features.

I often incorporate features into my software that ensure it shuts down automatically on certain actions, or when you’ve used it for too long. So you can go out and see some nature. It’s totally not crashes.

As a senior dev I can confidently tell you that isn't a bug. The code was written to do it that way, and the code is right, so it must be right. Maybe there is a bug in what you think it should do.

It sounds like a joke but as another senior dev, one of the big lessons I've learned is getting really good at capturing all the requests that come in and who approved them.

It's a bit of cya, but mostly so I can say "I can change that but it's not a bug. It's what was requested for this to do last year. Here's the discussion" It's surprising how often that results in "Oh yeah, that was for x. Let's not touch it." Or "oh that's not a quick fix, let me come back with more information" etc

The only difference between bugs and features is documentation.

How I felt 10 minutes ago when I fixed a bug just after zipping it for release.

In some interpretations of "bug-driven" programming, no file, or perhaps an empty file, is an instance of the zeroth-bug: The project does not exist.

One could argue that this bug zero is the true ancestor of all other bugs. There's something satisfyingly set-theoretic about it.

We all got into this mess because some scientists from a long time ago figured out how to put lightning into a slab of rock to trick it into thinking.
