Asked my senior why our software is crashing unexpectedly. He told me that sometimes it is affected by cosmic radiation.

🤔

If you work for NASA, this is a serious consideration.

POTM is my personal favourite way to describe this phenomenon

My comment was too good for comment section ++ so I referred to your rant with mine.

that it's an old joke that's pretty much a wide spread inside joke now?

I remember reading on stack overflow about a project involving some kind of a robot that inspects highly radioactive environments and they mentioned that one of there problems were that single event upsets would occur on a regular basis during operation. Sounds like a whole lot of "fun" to try and work with.

@boomi well i tell that to clients if website server goes offline haha
