Took a f%cking nightshift of the CTO (German company, so the CTO had PhD in C.S. and still remembered hacking C++ code) and the resident external IT consultant working on the C++ code getting frustrated with the builds crashing and literally debugging the whole shebang to discover that beside a ton of C++ memory bugs, we also had a network issue.
@m@sailor_sega_saturn And philosophically, I’ve been now for a decade in “automatic data entry from 3rd parties”, ETL (nice phrasing for industry level web scraping and data clean-up).
