We noticed that in our landing directory we were receiving duplicate files.

I asked the source to investigate.

He told me that the issue was not at his end. He asked me to mark the issue has been resolved from his end. I refused.

We get on a call to debug the issue. After 30mins he is extremely frustrated. As he was sharing his screen, he runs the command `ls -ltr | uniq -cd` on his server which sends the files and then screams at me "Where are the duplicates? Show me. Check the output. There are no duplicates.".

I first muted the call. Had a good laugh. Made him repeat it to show my team mates. They had a good laugh too.

I then asked him to call it a day. And once you cool down, think about what you just showed me.

So, I'll explain how my day went with just 2 sentences.

1: Difference between crontab -e and crontab -r.
2: The keys 'E' and 'R' are right next to each other!

If you've understood what just happened, your next question should be "Jason, which environment?"

"PRODUCTION!!!"

When you think you're an "expert". 😛

Any IT crowd fans here? I know it's an old show but it is Awesome!

But it sure does make a pretty good header for your code. ;)
