Blog post: The story of one of my worst programming failures https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/programming/DevelopedTooSmallFailure

In which I may have doomed one part of a professor's research programs by developing on a too-small machine. Well, sort of. Being a snot-nosed undergraduate was probably also part of it.

(Don''t worry, the professor had a much more successful other research project, as I believe @irvingreid knows.)

(Inspired by @GeePawHill telling his story recently.)
