Bug Mine

Definitions

1. A part of the system where hidden bugs are densely packed, waiting to explode when someone touches the code. In engineering slang, a bug mine suggests old logic with poor tests and many sharp edges.

   In plain English: A dangerous area of code full of hidden bugs.

   Example: "Everyone avoided the export formatter because it was a bug mine, and every seemingly tiny change uncovered two more dormant failures."
