Bugs, Bugs, and More Bugs

About a month ago at work, I was given a project to verify that a bunch of stuff in a massive program was actually doing what it was supposed to be doing. I'm basically done with that project now. My discovery was that there were a few important algorithms with suboptimal behavior. Two were fairly extreme. Even though it was a less desirable outcome for the company, it was a lot more satisfying for me to have my work uncover important bugs than if I'd found out everything worked perfectly already.

My next job: Fix those bugs.
