Reminds me of the time we found out a team was running O(n^2) code, but in terms of SQL Queries, that is to say, not O(n^2) of comparisons or anything, and were trying to blame the other team when a client sent a request that never ended.

And they tried blaming them for migrating data to a new server with an SSD that shaved 20 minutes from their processing time.

And if you're wondering, they refused to fix it because "it would need too many sprints" and "maybe we'll talk about it in a workshop".

It's still not fixed.



Funny that you used the word "team" when the outcome is anything but teamwork.
