At some point in each of our lives, we must face errors in our code.
Debugging is a natural healing process to help through these times.
It is important to recognize these common stages and realize that
debugging will eventually come to an end.
This stage is often characterized such phrases as
"What? That's impossible,” or know this is right." А

any code, “just in case."
Bargaining/Self-Blame
Several programming errors are uncovered and the
programmer feels stupid and guilty for having made
