@alexbrooklyn the customer probably realized the dumb input he/she was entering that caused the error and was just so happy the developer didn't see that during investigation

@Wombat you don't have to tell them they are dumb. You just need to ask them to screenshare with you so you can understand the steps to replicate the error. While they show you their screen, something clicks in their brain and they realize their mistake and the error is gone.

@iamai ahha, and most likely it will be solved before any screensharing

True story? Idk, just made me laugh
Greatest thing just happened.
Get a ticket about orders not being processed in our webshop. Angry customer. Critical!!!!
Starts troubleshooting. Nothing has changed in the code recently, was working just fine yesterday. Works locally and on test server. Hmmm...
Take a chance. Writes back to customer: “there! Try to place an order again” without changing anything.
5 minutes I get back “awesome! Everything works again and all previous orders have appeared. Good work!”.
Happy customer. Happy dev :)
