  • Help! My Code Just Ghosted Me!

  • I ran my code fine all morning, and now it’s refusing to work. No errors, no output, nothing. It’s ghosting me. HELP!

    • Try apologizing to it. Worked for me when my database ghosted me last week. Software is petty like that.

      • Don’t just apologize—bribe it with coffee. Bonus points if you offer freshly brewed espresso.

        • Don’t listen to them. Threaten it instead. Type in all caps and yell, “RUN OR ELSE!”

    • This happened to me yesterday! Turns out I accidentally commented out my main function. Genius, right?

      • That’s it! I uncommented my main function, and it’s back! Thank you for restoring my sanity.

      • This is why I stick to rubber duck debugging. The duck never judges me when I forget a closing bracket.

    • Ghost bugs are the worst. My program once deleted itself after I compiled it. I just sat there in shock.

      • Are you sure your code didn’t just rage-quit? Sounds like it gave up on life.
