Apparently without it your life is incomplete. I mean sometimes I feel like kicking some butts, but combat training, seriously?

It depends on the level of quality you aim to.

I'm trying to setup rails on my system and got the following error message on the command line:
Unable to resolve dependencies: rails requires activesupport (= 4.0.1), acti
onpack (= 4.0.1), activerecord (= 4.0.1), actionmailer (= 4.0.1), railties (= 4.
0.1), bundler (< 2.0, >= 1.3.0), sprockets-rails (~> 2.0.0)
I promptly threw it into Google, only to get a message that safesearch had filtered some explicit results. I'm aware of Rule34, and will try and unsafe search from home; but this is beyond insane...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

DON'T! FOR THE LOVE OF BOB DON'T!
My eyes will just survive, but your young innocent eyes just won't be able to take it.

Until I can get rails running I'm not capable of reaching the point of being able to rant like that.

$10 million a minute -that’s about how much the bug in software developed for stock market cost Knight Capital. In less than an hour, company’s computers executed a series of automatic orders that were supposed to be spread out over a period of days. The problems happened because of new trading software that had been recently installed. The resulting loss was about $440 million.
What's the toughest bug you ever found and fixed?

Software sent over a 1'000'000 emails of error messages in no time.. The only way was to turn off the exchange server.. By chance we saw it before the entire system crashed and it had no financial impact..
The signature is in building process.. Please wait...

A place I worked at once sent a few hundred text messages to the phone of a Scottish woman before we killed the process.
This was over 10 years ago and her phone could only store 10 messages.
Took quite a bit of deleting on her part to get through them all.
Very little impact on anyone but her.

I took us the entire morning to delete these mails... Apart that the outlook system was very slowly for everyone that morning, nobody else noticed..

A client of my last firm asked for a 'quick entry' mode for trades - simple text field and break to four values "direction quantity stock price", IIRC.
So trader would enter:
+10XY1000
And low and behold that creates an order to BUY 10 XY @ 1000 pence . Nice and simple.
A trader reversed the numbers on a sell order and basically offloaded the entire liquidity for the instrument onto the market for what amounted to nothing.
We'd done it so a confirmation was displayed, but the client decided it was 'too slow' and so removed that and any price checks before sending it onto the street.
