Outside this community: someone who programs computers.

In this community: no one has any fucking idea how to answer that.

My wife had a labmate in grad school submit a paper on a comedy robot, and a reviewer noted "the authors mention humor several times but never define the concept."

It's one of four liquids, sometimes vapors, that humans have to keep in balance or else they get black bileosis

so he updated his script, or fixed a bug while driving, right?

Someone else wrote some code, and he reviewed it and approved it, and merged it into the codebase.

Oh I would hope not, it's good practice to not let the person writing the code merge it in, to get a fresh pair of eyes on the code before it goes in.

Though in a way you could say he "fixed a bug" by merging a bugfix written by somebody else, but that feels like a failure of attribution.
