Coder Lee Yongho Chapter 18

MAY 20, 2016 CHAMBER LEAVE A COMMENT

After the regular monitoring ended, there was 1 hour till the end of work. Kim WonHo said he had some business to attend to and left early; and assistant manager Park took SuMin and YongHo to the nearby coffee shop.

“To be honest, I didn’t understand anything.”

“And you, miss SuMin?”

“Well, everybody’s like that at first. To be honest, for newbies who haven’t even learnt java properly, it is difficult for them to freely useshell commands.”

“Of course, shell is mandatory if you want to work with servers like Linux or Unix.”

“But still, if you get used to even just one programming language, then you can learn the rest pretty fast, so it’s better to master just one.”

“Don’t run too fast and overwork yourself; and don’t run too slow and get left behind either.”

“Come on, it’s an early leave in a while, so let’s go.”
Those words were SuMin and YongHo’s greatest pleasure.

YongHo who came back home saw his father lying down.

“Yes.”

“Are you ill anywhere?”

“He can’t sleep at all nowadays.”

“What hospital… It will probably get better if I stay like this.”

“So, how’s work?”

“Always greet your superiors well.”

“Always say ‘yes, yes’ when they give you work.”

“Ok. I believe in you, son.”
The word ‘believe’ made YongHo’s shoulders feel much heavier.

The work Kim WonHo gave him was endless. When he thought it would end, he was back at the beginning, like a Möbius strip. Today, YongHo was checking the corrections again while looking at the Sales Management Homepage on the commercial server.

‘What the heck? There was no such error until yesterday.’

*Ring*

“Sorry? WHAT?”

“No, no, no. Why would over 90% of the hardware limit be used?”

“I understand.”

“What’s wrong?”

“What about it?”

“What? Why so suddenly?”

“Check it quickly.”
At manager Choi’s words, assistant manager Park hurriedly requested permission to enter the server room.

After assistant manager Park went to the server room hurriedly, manager Choi called Kim WonHo, YongHo and SuMin.

“……”

“Assistant manager Kim?”

“Didn’t you say you were fixing some bugs?”

“Isn’t the problem from there?”

“Assistant manager Park is confirming the problem so Assistant manager Kim, you too, check the source you uploaded yesterday.”

“YongHo and miss SuMin too, look at your respective codes and look for any problems. Now!”

Returning to his seat, YongHo put the management page on the screen.

YongHo looked at the bug window. The details were on there.

Title: A throw new Exception error has occurred.

Solution: Commenting of line 735

YongHo opened the file mentioned on the bug window and looked at line 735.

YongHo who opened the file he made from local, couldn’t find anything.

YongHo suddenly thought that it was possible for the bug window have an error occur. It pinpointed errors with 100% accuracy until now but it was possible. He didn’t find any error in his file after looking at it many times.

Moreover, the line was empty. However, even when he ran it again, the result was the same.

It was littered with things that weren’t understandable to YongHo; why this kind of error suddenly occurred and why the over 90% of the hardware limit was being used.

A call from assistant manager Park, who went to the server room, arrived. The problem was the log file. The size of the log file of the web server was abnormally increased.

-We do not know. We have deleted the log file but the size is increasing rapidly as soon as it was deleted.

-For now, I will delete the log files while on stand-by until all the employees from the contractor (Gab) company leave work, so it would be best if your side quickly find out the reason.

-Oh, so, I haven’t told you about it. This is similar to the error we had last weekend. This doesn’t have anything printed on it, whether there is no log printing from the try-catch statement, or where the problem is occurring. The log file is full of blanks.

-Kill someone later, this comes first.

-Yes, manager.

Manager Choi called Kim WonHo after he finished calling.

“None as of yet.”

“What did he say the content of the error was?”

“Hmm……”

“Who edited the code?”

“Find any blanks in the throw new error statements in the sources sent by the two.”

A line that was on the bug window flashed in YongHo’s head, who was listening to the conversation between manager Choi and Kim WonHo.

‘That means the bug window was correct, isn’t it?’

‘So, the throw new Exception means that the programmer makes the error on purpose… so that means that line was added to the source.’

‘I can’t find it no matter how many times I look at it……”
But a line like throw new Exception was nowhere to be found.
