I had my software installed in a Lockheed system. It was incredibly surreal - the amount of time spent assigning blame for problems was orders of magnitude more than the time spent solving problems. One of their sysads, in a meeting with the Important People, blamed my system for extremely high network and disk load. He showed graphs that spiked and plateaued a few minutes after system load, pointed at the spike, then pointed at my face and said, "It's his software that's making this whole thing slow. Get him out of here and we'll build something that actually works." I got unparalleled satisfaction when I got to say, "I haven't installed my software yet."
