You must never have faced a situation where you can't believe your eyes. It takes a certain level of - dare I say it - intelligence and maturity to consider that it's more likely you've made a mistake than that you've made a huge breakthrough. In HN terms - it's never the compiler. Yes, very occasionally it might be the compiler, but you're better off assuming it's a bug in your code.

Conversely: - if your company has an internal compiler team then it's likely the compiler because they broke it. - if it's not the compiler, you're not pushing it hard enough.
