My favorite bug has to do with not software, not coding, but my last desktop build. Four hours later after two trips back to MicroCenter that day already, I had it "done" and booted it up, and got to install Windows. Another few minutes after getting things installed on my Windows profile, it blue screens. So, I do start it up again, and lo and behold, another blue screen. And I think even some memory dump, too.
The reason?
It overheated.
Because I forgot to buy a heatsink. And put it on a supercharged 4.2Ghz i7.
I literally nearly burned $2000 from heat in the first day I had created that monster.
