Problem The Mono build of the game succeeds every time. Switching the player to IL2CPP (`Player Settings > Other Settings > Scripting Backend > IL2CPP`) — required for iOS, and the sane choice for a Steam release — fails within a minute:…

Problem Every Unity developer has seen this one, and the confusing part is that the field **is** assigned in the Inspector: The component the exception comes from reads like this — with the serialized field assigned: The exception only fires from…

Problem We changed the install script in the Dockerfile, rebuilt, and the new image behaved identically to the old one. The build log showed: `--no-cache` "fixed" it and added 6 minutes to every build. Nobody wanted to admit the real bug: the layer…

Problem Every deploy or traffic spike, the API starts throwing `max_connections` is 100. Our pg pool is configured to 20. The math never worked out, so someone doubled the pool size — which made it worse, faster. Root cause Count what actually holds…

Problem A Node 20 worker calling one upstream API a few hundred thousand times a day: every few thousand requests, `fetch` dies with It is load-correlated — more traffic, more resets — and retrying by hand always succeeds, which smells like a bug in…

Problem Connecting with psql: The password is copied straight from the deploy platform's environment variable. It works for one teammate and fails for two others. Everyone was blaming the password rotation; nobody had typed it wrong. Root cause…

Problem Works in the editor, fails in `tsc` — or the reverse. Or it compiles fine locally and fails in CI. All three happened to us in one week, so we mapped every cause. Root cause TS2307 means TypeScript's module resolution found nothing. The five…

Problem The reflex is to re-read the deployment YAML for ten minutes, then `kubectl delete pod` and hope. The pod came back, crashed again, back-off stretched to 5 minutes, and the on-call lost an hour. Root cause CrashLoopBackOff is not an error,…

Problem Under a burst load test our job throughput collapsed — not into a few failed requests, but into a thundering herd: p99 latency went from 900ms to 40s, and the org hit its per-minute token cap *harder* than when we were not retrying at all.…

Problem A GDScript that references a node in the scene stops parsing before the game even starts: The node exists — `Player > HUD > HealthBar` is right there in the scene tree — and the script uses `$HealthBar` a few lines later without complaint.…

Problem Introducing assembly definitions to speed up compile times — a completely standard move once a project passes a few hundred scripts — immediately breaks the build: `GameCore` exists, it compiles on its own, and `using GameCore;` is right…

Problem Next.js (App Router, React 19) started throwing on a page that renders an order list: The page still worked (React rebuilt it client-side), which made it easy to ignore — until we noticed the flash of unstyled content and a Lighthouse…

Problem A workflow that had been restoring dependencies in ~15 seconds started showing on every run. `npm ci` went from 15s to 2m40s, and CI minutes quietly doubled. Root cause The cache key hashes a lockfile at a path: Ours broke when a restructure…

Problem Every session of Claude Code in our repo, the agent asked permission for the same dozen commands — `npm run build`, `git commit`, `wrangler deploy`. I clicked "always allow" so many times I stopped reading the prompts, which defeats their…
