For those who don't know, Graydon Hoare created rust language after seeing memory bug on out of order elevator.

How does one see a memory bug on an out of order elevator

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 36 points 9 months ago

He knew something was wrong with it's memory when the elevator didn't remember him

I don't know how to see a memory bug in an out of order elevator, but I once saw and reported a wiring error of a working elevator. It was an interesting talk at the reception desk, but as I could precisely describe what was wrong and the verifyable consequences, they took me seriously. And sent me a "Thank You" email later ;-)

Were your working on the elevator or just riding it? If the latter, I imagine even being able to see the wiring was an issue.

I was just using it. But the behavior/reaction to button presses showed me that a button was obviously connected to the wrong function.

By staring at it really hard

You know how everything has LCD screens these days? And sometimes you'll witness a good old crash? I know I've seen quite a few.
I'm guessing something like that.

I have seen elevator complaining no bootable media found

Thank you for the context

Based. That's a a bit like saying: "enough is enough, people are gonna get hurt. Let's fix this."
