I literally had a conversation this morning where we hit all four popular things programmers say:

"It works for me"
"It worked a couple days ago"
"Huh"
"The JSON is bad"

Can speak from recent experience that faster machines don't help. They just raise your expectations accordingly.

What? why is it taking 10 seconds? (this used to take 2 minutes) ARGGGGG

But you can never go the other way…

This used to take 43 seconds, now it takes 44 seconds.

Why no that's not a bug that's an undocumented feature.

Laugh | :laugh:

The first 3 are spoken daily here!

Example: Late yesterday afternoon, a customer called to inform me that her reports weren't working...none of them! OMG | :OMG:

OMG | :OMG:

I quickly checked on my system...no problems so I remarked, 'well, it works for me'.

She replied, 'It worked fine this morning.'

I relented and started a remote. When I got on her system, there were over a dozen report windows loaded in the background! 'Huh' WTF | :WTF:

True story: We spent months debugging a timing issue that swore up and down it was in our software. (Yes, the bug was talking to us at this point)

We finally discovered that the problem was caused by a steel roller changing diameter due to heat from an infrared paper dryer.

To be fair I have seen that.

The code did not now and never did what they were claiming.

They were asking for a new feature but claiming that it was a bug.
