As someone who hasn't really gotten into large-scale corporate software development--I'm 17, I wanted to ask a question about programming practice.If you encounter a bug in an application, and you apply attempts at fixes, before realising the actual fix to the bug; should you revert your original fixes, if the application still functions with these fixes; or, should you keep them and apply the actual fix?Is keeping them more likely backfire later, as you may have broken something else, or are you more likely to have spotted other areas of a program that needed to be changed?
