    Now here's a head scratcher. I'd presume that the Bugzilla team uses Bugzilla to track its own bugs. Now, what happens when there's a bug that renders certain features of Bugzilla unusable? The team wouldn't able to use Bugzilla to track the bug that is causing the Bugzilla software to be buggy. What happens then?

      Bugzilla implodes in on itself and is replaced by something even more inexplicable and bizarre.

      We did the same thing, except we didn't have computers, we had to write machine code literally "by hand". Co-workers would take turns playing different registers and the manager would be the CPU chugging along. It took us a while to compile, but we were men.

      Oh, and we did this at midnight, outside, in late january in the middle of Minnesota, barefoot, and we loved it.
