Has anyone gone months without introducing observed bugs into production? To what do you attribute your defect-free code?

Yes: Simplicity. I built a real-time video service that, after an extended shadow-traffic launch, ran for nearly a year with only one hiccup before I stopped paying attention to it. Extreme simplicity is what enabled that stability.

Replying to @BrandonBloom @potetm
The hiccup was caused by an unexpected dramatic usage increase both in terms of number of videos and video resolution. That, coupled with a bug where I mixed up two similar timeout configuration flags. Swapping the two values fixed the issue, but required some intense debugging.
