It's challenge time!

Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!

Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.

in order: yay, oh no, yay, yay!

It was a race condition in my mental security. My brain hadn't allowed for the possibility that there might be something that I was *both* keeping from thinking about for my own good, *and* not talking about with my partner because we'd already discussed it and it was a likely stress point for them, too. So I loaded it into active memory and quickly realized the error...

This is hilarious because both of us specialize in finding edge cases, corner cases, and other bugs. They gave a talk on it the night of our first kiss...

Ah, Brains, why do they not do the things that they should!

Edge cases are interesting. My recent working life has been all about 'and under what circumstances will this not go right; what do we do about it' and never managing to determine all of them, and thus having to deal. Including one rather 'entertaining' one were I got a complaint back about a review from a person who had left the group 5 years before, only to discover than they hadn't understood the difference between 'random' and 'balanced' allocations, and thus had done their allocation-to-group in strict rotation between the options.
