No, working as a programmer trying to fix "bugs" filed as "It does not wrk fix it kthx." is the worst job.

I want debug symbols. I want a stack trace. I want the *exact* version of the software, what it was compiled with, what libraries it was linked to, what file it was working on. I want verbose debug logs.

Write up a description telling Joe Luser how to get those things (starter for ten: Joe Luser doesn't know how to change his core dump size ulimit away from the distribution default of zero). Configure the bug tracking system to send it automatically to the submitter of any bug you close with an "no information" resolution code. Close content-free bug reports with the "no information" resolution code.

Alternatively, don't write programs for normal people to use.
