Reshaping the perception that bugs are inherently bad and should be avoided
 
The ideal of creating bug-free software is a fallacy, but team members often develop unhealthy phobias of a naturally occurring phenomenon. Phobias manifest themselves in various ways, such as denial (that’s not a bug, I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to behave like that), avoidance (we will log that in the backlog and circle back around to it if we have time), or emotional reactions (she is always picking apart my code, doesn’t she understand everything I had to do to get it to this point?). None of these reactions are helpful, and all limit the growth potential that bugs offer a project. Together, we will discuss why ‘bug’ is not a dirty word and find out how bugs can actual help cultivate better team dynamics and produce a better end product.
