There is a programmer hell
.. and I have found it!
You know that part of the project when you're busy doing bug fixes? Tedious.. little, annoying bug fixes? Fixes that only take about half hour to an hour each but because of the qa/testing process really take 2 hours each as you tear your hair out between server restarts and QA deployments? That part..
Now imagine it stretched into two weeks of tedious, annoying bug fixes that require all kinds of hacking around and tweaking to even reproduce (but they're still bugs, need to be fixed!)....
That my friends is programmer's hell. And I'm the newest resident, pray for me.

Reminds me of the old Far side joke:
Welcome to heaven, here's your harp....
Welcome to hell, here's your accordion...
We could add a twist, something like:
Welcome to progammers hell, here's your 8086..

Been doing that for 2 months straight on a big commercial project... and it still is not bug free (but good enough).
tedious, tedious bug fixing with a bunch of programmers is hell. Especially because everyone gets really irritated at "Dind't you write that?"
