In the infancy of "software industry" it was common to "release and then wait for customer to provide feedback" AKA "let the customer spent his money testing OUR product".

Every fall and spring the HVAC system for our building spends a couple of months in a mechanical tizzy as it oscillates back and forth between heating and cooling. There are a remarkable number of systems (that don't talk to each other), each of which can be in a heating or cooling mode. Our weather has been somewhat warm the last few days, so of course it's stifling in here right now. The temperature inside is close to 80°F and the humidity is high.

Once it gets that hot I can't even think.
Our company's A/C went out a number of years ago and it got to be 83 or so and you just want to sit and sweat. It's really terrible.
Hope you get it resolved soon.

The fun part is our lab with our build servers. The lab contains a lot of equipment that generates heat. I've come into the lab on Monday morning after a hot weekend and the temperature is over 100°F and most of the machines have turned themselves off with over-temperature alarms. We did have one ancient Intel server box that didn't have temperature sensors that would stay running, but it's long decommissioned.

I've experienced (been tortured with) the opposite; having to write code while sitting in the server room which was about 60 F. I was literally an iceberg pecking at the keys writing code, trying to get done fast so I could finally go back to my cubicle.
I was being trained by a consultant while at a large company and for some reason the server room was the only location big enough to house both of us at the same time. I guess no one wanted to hear him training me or something??
Anyways, I think it was also for the "torture" component of the situation in an effort for BigCo and BigManager to "send the message" that they could make my life terrible if they wanted to.

I briefly "consulted" in a cold office building in particular "Sears Tower" before it was renamed "Willis Tower". I utilized programming gloves id est the tips cut off. The project itself was a complete failure. A Sears repair person upon a visit to my apartment to repair the HVAC some years subsequent I inquired was he utilizing the project code on his lap top. He explained no the data it transmitted to central office simply disappeared. I am not surprised. A weaker bunch of "consultants" was hard to imagine. I took it upon myself to fix many bugs in my supervisor's code. One could see she was not happy about it but she did not reprimand me. However put a mouse in her hand and place her in front of a game and she became a terror. Also she was not happy I did not accept her advances.

The same thing happened to us a couple of years ago during a heat wave, it was 94°F in the office, we left a bit early that day.

Nice ,positive and to the point.
Makes me curious how she put it together - using her intellect. Mrs Google or AI.
Yes , I see way too many articles using same AI approach
" smart so and so discovered this ( amazing toilet cleaner - as an example ) , buy it before "they" take if down..."
whatever happen to
" ...operators are standing by..."
and do not tell me that operators have been replaced by "professional chatters "

All I can see on CP today are the Wordle posts - no option of going to the next page or anything - is it me or the site ?
Edit
It went back to normal after I posted this - go figure

Reminds me of this code someone did few months ago (I wish this was only a joke)
bool condition;
viewmodel.AllowSomething = !condition == true ? false : true;

In my open source projects I've been known to bury silly comments deep in the source to make astute reviewers question my sanity.

That would explain the 15ish lines I found that were setting up like they were gonna pitch something to the db but then never even opened the connection or sent anything on it.

Visual FA is the project I've most enjoyed in C# in recent years. But it's finished.
Not only is it finished, it's fairly polished. It slices and dices state machines, you can render them to graphs, to and from regular expressions, and analyze them in a myriad of ways. You can generate (optionally dependency free) matching code with them, or compile directly to an assembly. The matchers can stream from TextReaders or match off strings.
I have nowhere else to go with it. It has been a long time since I've truly stuck a pin in a project as "completed for the foreseeable future" but after like 5 articles and 2 tips, plus the code itself and it's associated nuget packages I have nothing left to do.
I'm glad. But I also wish there was more for me to do. I really enjoyed this project.
