    man, that hurts. When you found the issue were you happy or were you just depressed? I've been there and sometimes finding the root of an issue is not a eureka moment but more just a long, deflating, sigh.

      I was grumpy. Sometimes people are inexperienced and don't know how to make simple clean software and so end up with subtle bugs. I can understand that and dealing with it is part of life as an engineer. This was just laziness and there's no excuse for it.
