minus-squareperishthethought@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·2 months agoThis is really, “what techs call it” and “what non-techs call it”. As a tech, I usually know what someone means when they “app”. It’s “glitch” that drives me mad though. Glitch sounds like a ghost caused the error one tine only, versus some lazy coder.
minus-squareLv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·2 months agoTo be fair i would consider a glitch to be closer to a ghost causing it than a lazy developer. I consider a “bug” to be something caused by the code (bad error handling, bad logic, etc) and a “glitch” to be something more random or environmental
