This week's work adventures, lightly anonymized
04:05
<&McMartin>
(1) Find that we have a major bug that seems to only manifest on some hardware
04:06
<&McMartin>
(2) Remove the entire subsystem and replace it with something that is barely acceptable while we find what's wrong with the stuff we *want* to use
04:06
<&McMartin>
(3) Isolate it to a third-party API that turns out to be ignoring some theoretically mandatory arguments
04:06
<&McMartin>
(4) Rework the code so that nothing relies on the "mandatory" arguments that aren't checked
04:06
<&McMartin>
And, which is the part that lets me bring this up..
04:07
<&McMartin>
(3.5) confirm the appearances of (3) by literally casting random() to a pointer and handing it to that API
