First job out of university and I had to fix a terrible crash that happens to our prod application every few hours running on Windows NT boxes. After lots of debugging and asking all the “senior” devs, no one knew a solution since it was all super old code. What I did notice, though, was the apps that I was debugging didn’t crash until I stopped debugging it. Turns out that it was a memory issue and every time I minimized and maximized the app, part of the memory got cleaned up. So as a temporary fix, I just wrote a script to auto minimize/maximize the apps on all boxes until we found the memory leak. Note: we never found the leak.
