Did you hear Kieran get double debbled?

Monkey Debugging

When a programmer resorts to making random changes to their code until something works.

Joe spent hours staring at his code, trying to figure out a solution, until he finally gave in to monkey debugging.

Google Debunker

A term coined by TikTok creator Filip Zieba, who often covers conspiracy theories and pseudoarchaeology. It is used (by Filip himself) to shame and/or dissuade skeptics of Filip's content by calling them "google debunkers" and implying that a Google search that would disprove his misinformation is itself the misinformation.

"The Google Debunkers out there will claim that this is 'giant sloth' skeleton is real, but come on, it's obviously a primordial giant human."
(shows a picture of a Megatherium, a real extinct species of giant sloth)

Circular Debunking - Debunking in Circles

A form of debunking where the debunking itself relies on assumptions that have been debunked by the very claims being debunked, creating a circular structure. The debunker assumes the falsehood of what they're debunking, uses that assumption to generate debunking arguments, then presents those arguments as proof of falsehood. The circle is invisible to the debunker because their starting assumptions feel like common sense, not like assumptions. Circular Debunking doesn't engage the actual claim—it just performs skepticism within a closed loop that already assumes what it's trying to prove.

Circular Debunking - Debunking in Circles "He debunked spiritual experiences by saying 'they're just brain activity.' But that assumes materialism, which is exactly what spiritual experiences challenge. That's Circular Debunking—using the framework being questioned as the standard for questioning it. The circle is invisible to him because his framework feels like reality. But circular reasoning doesn't become linear just because you're confident."

reverse debugging

Reverse debugging is the process of trying to understand how someone successfully debugged a program you couldn't

- How did this guy manage to make my program work?
- I don't know, let's use reverse debugging to find out.

coffee mug debugging

Just like the term Rubber duck debugging, which is in software engineering, a method of debugging code. The name is a reference to a story in the book The Pragmatic Programmer in which a programmer would carry around a rubber duck and debug their code by forcing themselves to explain it, line-by-line, to the duck. Many other terms exist for this technique, often involving different inanimate objects.

The "coffee mug debugging" is the same method of debugging code with which developers force themselves to read and explain their code line-by-line, to the coffee mug. There are developers who calls this planted plot debugging as well. But "coffee mug debugging" seems more convenient at this century since it's easy to find a coffee mug for a developer than a "rubber duck" or "planted plot".

I had done coffee mug debugging for my dart code in flutter and found out a syntax error and fixed it.

alert oriented debugging

Debugging JavaScript code using alert statements to determine flow of control and inspect variables.

My browser doesn't have a JavaScript debugger so I have to resort to alert oriented debugging.
