I think the worst case I encountered was something like two years from first customer report to even fully confirming the bug, followed by about a month of increasingly detailed investigations, a robot, and an osciliscope.

- ChrisMarshallNY 1y agoThanks. I love hearing stories like this.
- pjc50 1y agoI'm no Raymond Chen, but sometimes I wish I'd kept notes on interesting bugs that I could take with me when I moved jobs. I've often been the go-to guy for weird shit that is happening that nobody else understands and requires cross-disciplinary insight. Other favourites include "Microsoft Structured Exception Handling sometimes doesn't catch segfaults", and "any two of these network devices work together but all three combined freak out".
