I read somewhere that Microsoft has a list of bugs for Excel that if they were ever fixed could cause global economic meltdown.

@bkwilliams I too am interested in bugs that cause catastrophic sudden unexpected global economic disassembles.

@bkwilliams Finance teams always have weird sheets and processes that break if you breath wrong in their direction. It doesn't surprise me that leading 0s in zip codes would merit sticking around for 20 years to be honest.

nikmanG15385yI work in finance and this is kinda true. Some group gets told something like “this software has an off by one error on all shorts” and they will develop their whole pipeline based on that. So one day you fix it and then it wrecks havoc because said team built their stuff on the basis of an error
