  The first one always takes way longer than the code itself deserves. Most of the work is figuring out the unwritten rules, not writing the patch.

    Sand that after so many years these rules are still not written down.

    Can confirm that it also happens in other complex systems! Still a lot of good time and the novelty factor helps with pushing through

  Well done and great writeup! Any idea why the bug hadn’t shown up sooner, like when running self tests?
