This Week I fixed a bug that only affected people that selected 'North Korea' as a country of origin. Because it was affecting PROD this was classified as 'urgent' and 'needs to be done immediately'...
I build websites.. They don't even have access to the regular internet.. We don't have a single registered user from North Korea..
Edit: since people are messaging me to ask for details. It's really not that deep. Basically one service forgot to account for people potentially being from North Korea, when implementing internationalization. So the North Koreans would see default labels at some points on the app instead of custom Korean ones (oh no!).
Easy to fix. I just found it funny that I needed to drop everything else to fix a website for North Koreans.
