Is this going to be a real product, or is it a joke? 20% of me thinks it's a joke that I'm not fully getting (I'm not native English speaking, so that might be the problem) If it'll be a product: why not focus more on wh

May I offer some practical advice? You do have extensive logging, especially around the buggy code? Do you have source-level debugger that shows your variables and that can step/trace through code? These are the 2 tools that I have fo

Look people in the eye. Except, don't look them really in the eye because it'll make you nervous, just look right above their eyes at the hair. From a distance they won't notice. Make yourself sympathetic (well, that's h

I feel his pain... unfortunately, I've got a family to feed. 15-20 years earlier, knowing what I know now, I wouldn't give it a 2nd thought.
