Hmm ... That's a much better approach. And pretty simple to implement as well.
Excellent idea!

You're welcome. Where do I send the invoice?

"FAO Boris Johnson, 10 Downing Street, London SW1A 2AB"
He's as likely to pay it as I am!

Welcome to my current life. Over the last several years my group has gone from 17 people in three departments to 5 in a single department. We're still supporting everything.
I spend more than half my time debugging and fixing other people's crap, and many of the problems are like the one you describe. People who took shortcuts, made stupid assumptions, or were just ing sloppy.
I spent close to a year debugging a problem in some embedded software that was caused by the original author not re-initializing some control values on an Ethernet error. It was the kind of excreta that doesn't happen in a robust, conscientious design.OriginalGriff wrote: hunt down the moron who thought "RIFF and JPG are the same thing really" and exterminate him with extreme prejudice The worst offender was a guy who spent over 20 years working on a single product, and had written it so that he was the only person who could maintain it. He passed away a couple years ago. It's mighty tempting to drink a potful of coffee and go express my opinion on his grave.

and I tried a real word that's not on their list. To avoid a spoiler: if the answer is 12345, that word is 12415.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming βWow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

That's nice.
But it ruined the voice I have in my head when I read your posts.
Iβve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

What was in your head? (I'm guessing something along the lines of Sam Elliot).

Little bit like that. Or maybe a little bit like Ron White.
