82 Bugs I Collected in a Year You Won't Believe Made It to Production
This past year, I made it my mission to collect every bug I encountered while using everyday apps and websites. From minor glitches to major problems, I ended up with a list of 82 bugs that somehow made it to production. These real-world examples are more than just interesting - they're also embarrassing mistakes that teach important lessons for making software more reliable and improving how we test it.
In this talk, I will show the different types of bugs I found and what they reveal about common mistakes in software development. I will also highlight areas that are often overlooked but are crucial to the quality of your product.
By looking at these bugs together, I'll show you how to avoid them, so these issues don't reach your users. Whether you want to make your code more reliable or reduce the time from ticket creation to fix, I'll share actionable advice you can apply the next day. Join me to learn from the embarrassing mistakes that even popular apps couldn't avoid - and take-home strategies to prevent them in your software!
Although I have given this talk before, I continue to collect bugs and update it with new insights, so it will not be the same. On the contrary, it allows me to discuss trends I've observed over time, making the talk more interesting.
Rather than going through all 82 bugs individually, I will group them into 5-10 key lessons, highlighting interesting and funny examples, and consolidating statistics on the types of bugs. This approach will highlight essential patterns and insights, making it easier for the audience to understand and apply the knowledge they gain. It also ensures the talk fits well within the session while delivering valuable takeaways.
