    I get more programming productivity out of reducing the time that I'm stuck than from increasing my speed when I'm not stuck.

    I'm fascinated by bizarre bug stories. This one, retold by , happened in the mid-2000s. The chain of decisions that made this possible could make a book-sized history of computing. But if you only take one lesson: please, validate your inputs.

    The Second Life updater downloaded the updater.exe, ran it with no validation. One day it got a 404. On Win32 if you try to run an EXE, Windows checks if it's a valid format (PE). If it's not it assumes that it's a COM: 16 bit x86 instructions, no header, no validation. The 404 page, read as x86 bytecode, opened the LPT DOS device and wrote garbage into it. On Windows, this would freak out and break cheap printers.
