#MobileDebugging: Round 2 Winners 🔥🔥🔥

The story that got the most views and highest number of votes is:

As an Android developer working on a popular remittance app supporting over 100 thousand users, it is my job to ensure the app runs smoothly and all reported issues are resolved promptly. I was used to getting the occasional support ticket from users reporting issues with the app. But one day, I received a deluge of tickets from people who were failing to send money to a particular region through the app. This was especially concerning because it was close to the holiday season, a time when many people rely on our app to send money to their loved ones.

Congratulations on winning the first place and most-read story award@mikeynyzw! You have won $600!

The second place is won by:

Many would-be developers give up at this stage, and it’s not unusual for some to leave a mark of a smashed PC or device from the rage, I tell you 😡.

Congratulations, @oliveremeka! You have won $300.

In the third place, we have:

It was a hot summer day, and I was working on the latest update for my mobile app. Everything seemed to be going smoothly until I stumbled upon a strange bug. No matter how many times I tried to fix it, the bug just wouldn't go away.

Yay! @ayothedoc has won $100!
