𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 🤔 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗴𝗼 ...?

A rumor spreads that 𝗛𝗲𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗴, the great quantum physicist, came across a 𝗛𝗲𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗕𝗨𝗚 while he was staying in Hamburg 😶—the latter bold word is the runner-up to the best word derived from the physicist's name, that is Heisenburger, a fastfood shop in Dublin 😁 .

Despite the common understanding, compiling a program is not a direct talk to a computer, but more of talking to a translator who understands both yours and the computer's language.

Or thinking of the compiler as a courier who takes your program to the CPU (nowadays GPU), even if you inspect your code very well, and spend enough time #debugging, there are very, very low chances that this courier fails to reach the destination 😢.

That is when a compiler comes across a mysterious internal error, a.k.a., HeisenBUG 🪰 .

This time, despite always, you are right, and the compiler is wrong 😎 !
