RemusWasTaken

Colleague while reviewing my latest commit.
Him: Hey, RemusWasTaken, why did you leave this debug log in here?
Me: That function won't work unless I leave that line exactly there.
Him: It can't stay, come here so we can fix it.

Three hours of debugging later, this Friday afternoon.

Him: Okay, I give up. Let's leave it there for now.
Me: I did the same thing yesterday. Time well spent.

Nodejs is weird sometimes, or we are incompetent devs.

    Does your code (or one of the libraries) contain some stupid (maybe native) io-buffering or multithreading shit?

    @24th-Dragon I honestly don't know. I will probably slap myself when I fix it but I don't know right now.

    @metamourge No multithreading, the logging is done with a library that logs to console and to files too but we couldn't trace it back to problems with it. It just won't work. I will continue next week, I am done, I left earlier because of it today. xD

    Does your code load something from a file or network?
    If you can fix the problem by removing the log line and adding a small, manual delay, it's definitely related to asynchronous shit.

    Did you try a sleep () instead?
    Sounds like some asynchronous stuff is happening, and the logging might give it just enough time to finish...
