IFAB

What does IFAB stand for?

I found a bug

IFAB is an acronym that gamers and software developers use to announce that they've identified a glitch or bug in a system or game. When a program doesn't work the way you expect, you might announce IFAB!

Gamers and developers use IFAB in forums, chat rooms, and even in bug reporting documents to quickly indicate that something's gone awry and needs attention. If you find yourself in the midst of a game-breaking bug, just drop an IFAB, and let others know you've spotted a problem.

Example

Hey, can you check the code again? It crashed when I tried to run it.
IFAB in the new update. Can you take a look and fix it?
Sure thing, I'll debug it now. T4lmk!
