Tell HN: Software Development Nightmare
was preparing to do a lecture (at workplace X) then when I went to start talking my presentation got deleted and I could not recover it. I ended up going down and not giving the lecture this was embarrassing.
Then when in this room suddenly a major bug happened in my software, and I was struggling with the bug and still switching windows trying to see where is my presentation, nothing succeeded, could not find the presentation and the bug just got growing and growing, and I was super nervous almost before a breakdown.
ahh, what a nightmare.
