Games are certainly the most popular piece of end user software. Software that a lot of people use a lot of time looks like this because the bugs are found and the bugs get fixed. The code for fixing a bug has to live somewhere. What about bugs that computers find? Fuzzers are rarely recommending to fix bugs that are affecting human users. Part of that is also that the kinds of bugs that computers can find are not in, literally, "user interfaces," they are in APIs and formats. Anyway, end user business software also has code that looks like this. It's not just all tools and infrastructure, I mean it certainly feels that way. But there are 800+ line SQL statements. 800+ line transactional method bodies. I don't want to call this "real code" but the surprise comes from... well eventually you have to make something the end user touches. And it's going to be gnarly. |
