The Fishbowl tells us how to crash a developer:


Near the end of the day, the boss walked up to my desk and asked me how a third task (that had neatly slipped my mind) was progressing. What I experienced could only be described as a stack overflow. The attempt to add the third task to my stack caused the whole mess to fall over, leaving me babbling like an idiot for a few seconds while I tried to reconstruct enough state to allow me to provide an intelligent response.


So that's it. I have a stack for significant tasks that is two deep. Any more and I crash.


Oh, do I ever identify with that...
