What would it mean to Software Developers if they have Pugs in their code, instead of bugs?
Can't we just call bigger errors in source code "Pugs" and the smaller ones "Bugs"?(In the end it would make sense since Pugs are actually bigger than bugs!)
We would have an idea of how bad the errors in the source code are, just by calling it "puggy" if it is a complete rubbish (or puggish??) or calling it "buggy" if there are only details to be fixed.
Think about it!
[In fact, that problem was pugging me for the last two days]
Edit: The hamsters could even rename the "Sugs'n'Bugs" for to something like "Pugs 'n' Bugs"

What if you think Pugs are spectacularly ugly, nasty, yappy little dogs?
Can't we call bigger bugs "Scorpions", or really, really nasty ones "MRSA" instead?

Calling them Scorpions wouldn't make any sense, since a Scorpion can sting itself to death - Ever seen a bug that solved itself?

If you mean ones that vanish when you try to replicate them...yes.

I think you mean Heissenbugs. 
We often get bugs that create themselves. They appear in a piece of code that was notchanged in years. And after we examined and fixed the bug, we wonder how it could ever have worked in the first place.
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

Yes. Several times. You just shrug your shoulders and move on.

"Development tactics behind Windows 8"
And then I heard it like a shot through my skull to my brain,
I felt my fingertips tingle and it started to rain,
When the walls of my bedroom were tremblin' around me,
This ramshackle voice over attack of a bluebeat,
And tellin' me she's only looking for fun.
And this was the sound of the very last gang in town.
I'da called you Woody, Joe

Slander!
They don't bother to shrug first...

'Pug' is what my wife used to call a crap French car she once shouldn't have owned. It's rather stuck in my mind as that.

The ones between the Bugs and the Pugs can be called Mugs, the bugs which do not trouble the users can be called Hugs and the bugs that pull along the entire app to perdition can be called Tugs.

what about giving them a classification from a to z depending on their size
Augs, bugs, cugs,..., Zugs

I took the apple approach and just call them features. 
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

As many of you will know, Visual Studio does this thing where if you put 'todo' in a comment, it will compile these into a big catalogue of procrastination in the task window.
Every day for the last eight years I've lived by the rule of never to open that window, but this morning I erred. Christ, it's like reading a bank statement. For the love of God, do not do this....

I find it really useful - I even included "TODO" comments into my revised class and form template files to remind me to fill in the XML comment headers.
There is rarely more than half a dozen items in my list.

Yes, it is a good idea as long as you come back. I treat it more like a draw where you chuck stuff and forget about it. Things still work, but they could be done better. If only there was time (and will).

Then instead of using TODO, use #warning[^] or #error[^]

I rarely do a checkin with open ToDo comments. I often use them during development when I'm editing multiple classes at the same time. I think it's a great feature.
You know where you have still things to do. You get a general idea what you have to do and you get the exact location where you need to do it.

I love em, I encourage all our devs to use them and lead by example. And if I see a todo make it into production I have someone to bitch at (we work on small LOB apps that may take as little as a couple of months to build)

You've made your to-do such a way that you would now need item in your to-do to clear to-do.
