    I literally had a conversation this morning where we hit all four popular things programmers say: "It works for me" "It worked a couple days ago" "Huh" "The JSON is bad"

    Sounds like a PICNIC to me. (Problem in Chair, Not in Computer) And I say this knowing sometimes I am the one "in the chair" :)

      Can speak from recent experience that faster machines don't help. They just raise your expectations accordingly. What? why is it taking 10 seconds? (this used to take 2 minutes) ARGGGGG

                      To be fair I have seen that. The code did not now and never did what they were claiming. They were asking for a new feature but claiming that it was a bug.

                        i just would quote (paraphrase ?) from the Lurianic Kabbala tradition: "trust nothing, question everything." this would be ignored by the non-technical exec who was telling me that ... in a very complex "skunk works" prototype under development (in this case what became Acrobat) ... with just a little change "we" could have this shiny "feature." i'd have different words, now :)

                              True story: We spent months debugging a timing issue that swore up and down it was in our software. (Yes, the bug was talking to us at this point) We finally discovered that the problem was caused by a steel roller changing diameter due to heat from an infrared paper dryer.

                                Why no that's not a bug that's an undocumented feature.

                                Just remember, a feature is a bug with seniority.
