shotgun debugging

	This is the JargonFile ^(V4.00) entry for shotgun debugging - Next: shovelware, Prev: short card
:shotgun debugging: /n./ The software equivalent of Easter egging; the making of relatively undirected changes to software in the hope that a bug will be perturbed out of existence. This almost never works, and usually introduces more bugs.
