Never Forget

Technologists love to collect and share horror stories (see, for example, The Daily WTF). It’s one of the reasons this blog exists, as a brag document of a different sort.

No matter how stressful the situation may be, no matter how long the debugging session took, no matter how brain-melting the eventual solution was to implement, on those days when you experience a moment that you know will go into the annals of “how the heck did this happen” infamy, it brings a smile to your face.

For me, yesterday was one of those days.

It’s a little too early to tell the full story in a public place (the key stakeholders should get to hear it first), but I hope to eventually. It’s an all-time head-scratcher.
