A bug crashes the system.
An error throws a message.
Failure is loud — you notice it fast.
But most software doesn’t die from bugs.
It dies from rushed decisions, unclear requirements, and shortcuts that quietly become permanent.
Code keeps “working,” but no one revisits why it was written that way.
Warnings are ignored. Documentation is skipped. Ownership fades.
Nothing breaks today — it just becomes fragile.
The real fix?
Don’t only debug code.
Review decisions, clean up shortcuts, and question things that feel “working fine.”
Because in software, slow damage is more dangerous than visible errors.
