Honestly I prefer a good stumper, usually. If it’s some bullshit that Microsoft did, then we’re both going to be sad. But if it’s an interesting problem and I can (mostly) figure it out, that’s way better then fixing the same thing over and over and over and over again.
Not directly relevant, but this reminded me of the joke that debugging is like a murder mystery where the programmer is the detective, the murderer and the victim.

Same, they’re like puzzles.
