It was a seriously accurate bug report. If only all users were so thoughtful.

But then it sent him off in a direction not worth going. He literally started to map out how far emails would go if they succeeded. The whole time the error was in the timeout instead.

  • The mapping was done for the purpose of reproducing the error though. I wouldn't call that a wasted effort.

  • It is pretty trivial to translate distance to time for something like this, so I wouldn't consider the wrong direction at all.
