I’ve a pretty nice short story (if it is of interest):
There was once a pretty unexperienced designer (the reality was even harder). He worked on his first project ever. The file was nice and clean and everything worked as expected. So the designer came up with the idea to add a dotted line beyond an item. To achieve this, he hacked zillion of single points via keyboard in - dot by dot.
Well - what to say?
After this, the file was nearby not to use anymore. It slowed down and it suddenly took ages to upload. Being sorely in need, he called the towers. There was a pretty clever guy that immediately cleaned the mess, telling the designer how to really do “dotted lines”.
Oh - perhaps the names are of interest?
Well - the (dumb) designer was me, the clever guy was Joe Billings - the FW version was 4.5 (I think) and it was round-about 2007/8.
So what did we learn? 99% of bugs are sometimes in front of the screen and when when worse comes to worse, the towers are always there.
