chasing bugs

i spent three weeks debugging the ominiAI chatbot and it almost broke me. edge functions kept failing, multimodal inputs were a mess, and every fix just brought up new issues.

it was rough, but it taught me a lot. i figured out how to slow down, test small chunks, and savor the small victories. staying calm and steady got me through.

in the end, the chatbot worked. not perfect, but good enough to show me something real: chasing bugs doesn’t just fix code, it builds patience and skills for tackling bigger problems down the road.

the project

ominiAI was a big swing. building a chatbot that could handle multimodal inputs and solid edge functions was always gonna be tough. i knew it, but the project kept growing anyway.

the issues

requests timing out, responses breaking, media handling all over the place. every test found a new edge case. debugging felt like an endless chase.

the grind

i stayed up late, picking apart problems, writing tiny tests, and slowly narrowing down what was broken. it was slow and tedious, but each small fix kept things moving.

the payoff

when the chatbot finally started working reliably, it didn’t feel like a huge party. but it was satisfying. it showed what grinding through can actually do.

afterword

chasing bugs is just part of the gig. if you can stick with it and learn something, you come out stronger. it’s not glamorous, but it’s where the real skills get built.
