I am not an introverted programmer

One of my server programs, which maintains a persistent connection to another service, authenticates the end user, and then performs a series of data operations. In recent weeks, I have been fighting very strange bugs.

I do not know why, from time to time, this program will lose the socket connection. It's not always happening, but it's not uncommon, too. After a while, the machine running this service will run out of resources and become unresponsive - because there is a backlog of unresolved requests.

This problem has driven me crazy; I couldn't figure out where the problem came from. My time was completely occupied by this problem, and I stared at it before restarting the service completely and analyzed the code back and forth. It's this period. Let me show it to you....

Wait.

This is not my office. I didn't sit at my desk. The computer is not around. Where am I fucking?

All around. Very busy. It looks like a Party.

Hey, why is my hand wet? Oh, look, it's a drink; black, translucent, it looks like a coke. Yes, it is Coke. It's cool, but there is no ice in it. The white napkin soaked, and its edge was crushed by my hand, so I guess I've been here for a while.

Yes, I remember it now. This is a gathering of company colleagues. Dan invited me to come. Someone had a 40th birthday, maybe 50. I can't remember. Dan is a good person, but our personality is very different. He is a joke. It is estimated that he used to sell insurance.

Fortunately, I don't need to wear a suit here. And you don't need to wear it like that fool next to the elevator. Really, why wear hoodies on the Party?

However, who cares? He has already pressed the elevator, so he is likely to go out. Oh, no, my brother, don't look at Facebook on the iPhone. The elevator door will close. The lights went out and you missed this one. Haha, you're a fool, you...

Wow.

Wow.

He is not careful. He missed the elevator.

I dare to bet with you, this is the problem in my code. If the remote service hangs, and I'm still waiting to receive the authentication code, the application does not receive the notification, and then the socket is lost.

That's it. Two weeks of torture, the inspiration to find the problem has come from a company that is full of people who buy insurance. There was also a cup of cola in the hand and a shredded tissue.

I might go right now and go back and verify my inspiration. But I don't want to be considered too rude. I need to find an opportunity to slip out without knowing it. I can't stay here again. I have been tortured by this problem for too long.

Oh, hell. Dan came over. He was cheerful, and he followed an old guy.

Ugh. I guess I can't go away. Are they really going to come and talk to me? Dan, I don't talk. Don't you know? I pray Dan changed his mind. I can't waste my tongue, maybe this wonderful inspiration disappears when I sit at the keyboard.

Hey, this is your CEO. Oh, is it so. Nice to meet you. Smile. Slightly surprised. nod. I must have forgotten the damn elevator and authentication code. Yes, Dan is a good guy. Oh, did he tell me about you? Really good people. I believe he must not have told you about that damn bug. You are stopping me to solve this problem completely. Only by solving it can I finally get a good night's sleep.

Finally, they are gone. I probably messed up this conversation, and it's usually the case. They may think I have a problem in my brain. Or not sociable. I really do not care now because I finally found the reason for this damn bug.

I still hurriedly call the elevator to avoid any talented guy trying to waste my time. I will not miss this elevator. I got a bug!
