@manton I fixed a bug in my home automation recently where a number was getting sent via a mqtt message as a string and so being ignored.

It had been working for months, and then suddenly stopped, and as far as I know nothing in the chain of components has upgraded (or even has the internet access to do so).

Debugging it didn't take long at all, the error message was quite clear and explicit. How it was ever working *before* has been bugging me ever since.

had a moment like that last week where I rearranged some code for readability right before merging. Ended up introducing a showstopping bug just in time for QA. 😅

@oddevan (though to be fair, that was more a case of “didn’t test” 😇)

@manton in my career I must admit I've been at stage six more times then I would expect. http://plasmasturm.org/log/6debug/
