That’s a fantastic anecdote. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when the results were reported to management.


Indeed, great story. I'd love to have seen the face of the person who finally figured it out.


Thanks.

I suspect it would not have been received as that big a deal to management or to anyone else. In those halcyon days, we were running into and usually solving all kinds of such edgy, extreme scale problems. It was a lot of work, but a hell of a lot of fun too.
