A Facebook Bug Causes Lots of Headaches To Developers

Facebook logo

I had a good day yesterday. After spending almost six hours debugging a problem with Internet Explorer (yeah, old news) and a Drupal based Facebook application we're writing for 49st I finally found a solution.

However, this morning I found that the same code that was working yesterday showed some nasty error message. What now?

I was lucky enough to take a look at Facebook forum first and see that the problem affected many other applications. It is bug #1312 at Facebook and it seems that everything started while implementing the recently announced library for animation.

There is a big bunch of developers all over the world working with the Facebook API and I think we're right when asking the Facebook team to let us know, with a little message in our profiles, when the platform has any problem. That way we don't get mad reviewing our code when the problem is on their side. What do you think?

Wow

It's amazing to see facebook exploding and growing as fast as it is. Seems like everyone has been developing for it.

A Facebook Bug Causes Lots of Headaches To Developers

I have read that faceook is slowly gaining unch of members and I think it will become bigger and better. It is really inevitable that there might be some bugs in it considering that a lot of people are using this site already and I do agree that it causes some of us headaches but it will surely be fixed in due time.

Reviewing code..

There is nothing worse then spending hours of your time reviewing code, printing r, checking for this, that.. and then finally, when your completly flumuxed you get some good result which leads like breadcrumbs to a host of people moaning about how its somthing elses fault.

IE Sucks, Wordpress code is messy shit.
Nice blog and nice pictures :)
