Mycroft,
That is clearly a factor in your experience. I think it explains it.
When you work with mainly competent and experience people, you don't have the same types of bugs.
Like something that synchronizes data for a group, that is NOT protected from someone synchronizing their own data while the larger process is running (causing duplicate adds, for example). Just knowing to think in those terms comes from experience. Understanding how long things WILL take in production vs. on your local machine, etc.
Or that they don't notice that if it takes 30 seconds to test one record in a process... How long will it take when the expected HUNDREDS of records hit?
An example of a one line fix was: Don't sync closed items. Massive speed up, as closed items did not really exist in the first implementation, but 2 years later, were the majority of records.

When my girlfriend tried to make me have sex on the roof of her Honda Civic I refused. If I'm going to have sex, it's going to be on my own Accord.

Can't speak for the other guys, but I for one do not have a sister.
Sometimes the true reward for completing a task is not the money, but instead the satisfaction of a job well done. But it's usually the money.

That won't get you very far in my family. I have three sisters younger than me. All have heard (and sometimes use) the "seven words that should never be heard on television".
I do agree that this was a little over the line for the Lounge.

True story: When my father-in-law passed away several years ago, he had left his Honda Accord to his eldest daughter. For the month (June) before she could arrange to come get it, it was parked in our driveway. One particularly hot afternoon, the wife had arrived home from a trip so I walked out to welcome her home and carry the bags. As we passed the car, she pointed to the ground behind the car where the chrome model placard lay and asked what happened. I said very dryly 'it appears to have fallen off of it's own Accord.'

Equally true story: My first new car was a 1985 Accord. My wife and I were driving to see her family, and passed the exit to Marysville(*), Ohio. I told Mrs. Wife "Be careful; the car might take that exit of its own Accord."
(*) Accords were built in Marysville at the time.

But the important question...how many seconds until she got it?

Otherwise known as 3-Methylindole, or "Skatole" - it's the chemical that makes pooh smell of ... well, pooh.

That's nothing; I smell C9H9N (Skatole) almost every time I go to "The Weird and The Wonderful". 
EDIT: I just saw that you had the name of the chemical and its smell in micro-print.

Me? I've never been anywhere near Lockheed, and I was in disguise, and it wasn't me; it was my evil twin.

I heard, on Facebook so it must be true, that SUV meant Sex Under Vehicle but don't see how that would work?

For those of you old enough to remember the 70's ad line.
Maybe you 'got some head on a Honda.'
I can still hear the tune. 
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.

My buddy had a Puke Green Impala...
I am certain the hood was bigger than a King Sized bed.
And the trunk could hold 5 bodies!
This thing was a boat. It was easier to BACK INTO a parking spot.

Dyscarnate - Nothing Seems Right[^]
It's time this song got some love.
I've been listening to it for weeks, but every week there was a song I just found a little bit more SOTW material.
While some of those songs are now out of my playlist this one remains.
Dyscarnate plays a more technical death metal, or metalcore if you like.
This video, while I don't get it at all, has a pretty cool art and visual style

This track is really nice …  , impressive vocals,
great metalcore indeed... (added to my playlist for the coming days ),
I think I will check their albums, BR
