Sweet Jeebus! Of course this happened:

But wait! It goes from drama to comedy, fast:

[Years ago, I worked for a company that paid engineers a bonus for finding bugs in the code. You’ll never guess what happened! Bugs were introduced, then found, then rewarded! Capitalism at its finest!]

Carry-on!
