Recently, a colleague spent a bunch of time working on a bug. When attempting to perform some action, the system would provide feedback that everything was going as planned, and then “go dark,” seemingly out of no where. It’s important to realize that this is a complex distributed system, and that there is a network connection between the “part that worked” and “the part that went dark.” But, there wasn’t a change to the connection logic, and it worked before, so that “couldn’t possibly be it.” (Yes. I already told you where this is going—Ed)
