You shipped a coincidence

The test went red, you handed it back to the fleet, and on the third attempt it went green. Nobody in the room can say what was actually wrong. That patch holds until the same bug picks a worse night, and then you're at 2am with no hypothesis and a fix you can't explain. At Brandfolder I walked into a product crashing on a memory leak. Finding it was the work. The change, once I knew, was small. Generation got cheap. Diagnosis didn't. Make the diagnosis the deliverable and let the fleet write the patch.
