What was the funniest experience you've ever had related to programming => Asked from Lino Tadros❓

The funniest experience I had was during the Delphi 3 development cycle when I had a serious problem running one of the builds on my machine and after wasting almost 4 hours, I went to Anders and Chuck and requested help. 🙏🏻

Anders ( Anders Hejlsberg ) and Chuck came to my office, sat down next to each other in front of my machine and started debugging delphi32.exe inside of TD32. 🐞

I sat behind them watching. 👀

Few minutes later, Anders pointed to the CPU window at some bits and told Chuck :
"Look Chuck, this byte is not supposed to be here, this is a pcked record." 😦

Chuck looked at it for 5 seconds and confirmed. ✅

Then Anders looked at me and said :
"Lino, during the install from the network, one of the packages shifted 1 byte to the left for some reason, delete the package and reinstall." 😨

That was funny because I felt like I had the wrong job and that I should consider opening a hot dog stand somewhere instead of software development. 😶

These folks are Gods❗️
