Spooky Scenarios in Debugging

What's this blog post about?

In this talk, Rick Zucker, an experienced Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) Manager, shares spooky scenarios in debugging and lessons learned from these experiences. He discusses two debugging scenarios he personally dealt with - one involving a compiler bug and another related to hardware verification. The key takeaways from his talk are: 1. Be careful about what you take for granted. 2. Consider corner cases that aren't recommended but are permitted. 3. Always be observant about everything. 4. Sometimes, you have to be paranoid and skeptical about things. 5. Trust in your supply chain is crucial, and it's essential to think about where bad actors might take over.
