Bugs frustrate me more because I can often guess at why they are happening and how to fix them but can't just apply the fix myself.

That's like a big portion of bugs lmao, lots of bugs exist because the spaghettification of the code makes it too costly to fix. Do you really think devs don't know why the bugs are there? They usually can't be fixed because there is no time or no willingness from management or the root cause is so deeply rooted it requires a shit ton of work to be able to fix it at all.

Yeah that's fair, though it doesn't help with the frustration. Especially when it's management getting in the way of things. Like with all the enshitification, my guess is that there's a dev or team of devs that hate themselves for going along with it.
