[BXLE_1-1-BitIs1]

I've had a number of projects to either add features or fix a bug in large volumes of truly weird (and sometimes jerkoff code), COLT and JES3 being particularly flagrant examples. It can take weeks to find out where the bad code and less than half a dozen lines to fix the problem.

In just about any system of productivity metrics, these two episodes would mark me as dismally productive:

In the bank I was working for, the incidence rate of online banking mainframe reIPLs went from every few days to zero.

At a telecommunication provider, data center reIPLs similarly reduced.
