is there ever a bug free code nyways ?
No.. a code with even an iota of complexity can never be bug free…
its like asking “Darwin’s theory has been in place for a million years.. correcting the imperfections in each and every species… have the species become perfect?”
typically it is a well accepted fact that if u fix 10 bugs with patches… 5 new bugs will crop up because of those patches. 🙂
