    I had to read it repeatedly and check if it really said “syntax error”. What will those people do if they encounter their first race condition?

      Well, what most of us do… manage to reproduce it by chance one out of twenty attempts and then remove any evidence that you managed to trigger it and mark the ticket “unable to reproduce”. Bury the ticket by removing any good tags or keywords and hope it’s at least three months until anyone else reports the error so you can repeat the dance.

      They insert sleep(1) and print statements. No shit. I had to fix this in two projects. One was a complete rewrite.
