New this year, for Week 3 of Devtoberfest, we are going bug hunting!
As a developer, I find it satisfying to find a bug that’s been eluding me for weeks. Having to dig into the code, figure out what should be happening, and determining why it isn’t can be both an exercise in frustration and a lot of fun. However, that satisfaction does end when git blame shows I was the one to write that bug. That’s never fun…
But have no fear! You can get all the satisfaction of identifying bugs without any of the potential risk of you having written the bug!
Many of us developer advocates have written bug hunts in a variety of languages and each one is worth points to help you get to Nerdvana on the game board. Each tutorial also has a unique badge so completing them all would be quite an achievement.
To participate, you only need to complete one of the following tutorials, but you can complete as many as you want.
Each bug hunt has 3 different levels, ranging from easy to hard. You will need to complete all three to get the badge and credit for the bug hunt.
Note: You are not restricted to complete this bug hunt only during Friday, October 18th. These tutorials will be live the entire third week of Devtoberfest from October 14th through October 20th. We will close out the tutorials after that date so be sure to complete the ones you want before the end of day on October 20th.
Once the tutorials are closed, we will post the bugs for each bug hunt, so you figure out which bugs you were able to find. Try NOT to share specific bugs in the comments below as that would spoil the fun for those who haven’t completed the various tutorials yet.
Good luck and let the bug hunt begin!
