Prove that the story is real ;)

Experienced worse.

At one company we had a deployment script written in English. That support from India would execute. Except they would occasionally inject their undocumented codes to fix their own issues.

That and the component oriented distributed monolith that ran on single machine. It was monolith architecture but it was made to run on multiple machines. However it was never distributed and starting the components was an arcane science.

Oh i guess we all have these horror stories.. I was more hinting at the fact that it took several meetings to decide something obvious.
