“ There's a common saying and rule of thumb in programming (possibly originating in the C world) that it's never a compiler bug, it's going to be a bug in your code even if it looks crazy or impossible.”
I say, it’s “rarely a compiler bug.” When teaching new developers I remind them that you should assume the bug is in the code you just wrote before jumping to the bug being a compiler, framework or OS issue. It’s just a matter of probabilities.
