I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bug expert' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'breaking the ice' is the wordplay.
'breaking' indicates anagramming the letters.
'the'+'ice'='theice'
'theice' anagrammed gives 'TECHIE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for techie that I've seen before include "Expert in some practical science" , "IT whizz" , "PC expert" , "computer expert" .)
