I assumed a ships rudder could only turn 90 degrees in the autopilot I worked on. Watching the travel channel about a new cruise ship, they discussed their new jets that rotate 180. They said they had to go back to port to deal with an issue with how far they could rotate. I wasn’t on that team when that issue came in. But low and behold a senior dev told me “just so you know, you can’t assume a rudder only rotates 90 degrees”. s he told me the story, I put 2+2 together that it was the same cruise ship I watched on TV. Luckily, you always have manual failovers, and it was an easy fix. But it did at least put some egg on my face :).
