Stuff that can’t be reproduced and “only” comes up because of some timing issue/race condition is often the most shit to hunt for
Ah, but if you can’t reproduce it, you can just put in an entry of ‘could not reproduce’ and close the bug report. Case closed. Go home and enjoy a nice beverage.
I’ve worked on “mission critical” things, but that doesn’t mean I gave a shit about the “mission”. If I’m working for minimum pay, I’m putting in minimum effort. Which means closing the bug report faster and with less effort is always desirable.
The truly terrifying outcome is that it works after changing nothing. Sometimes bugs are the most fun to squash.
We seemingly have a different opinion, what we regard as ‘fun’ ;-)

I’m currently in such an adventure - and I thought I had it…but the statistics show, that it only got better, but didn’t catch all of the occurrences…

Tell me that you have never worked on anything even remotely ”mission critical" without actually saying it…
