    For a lot of us it's lived experience - "the platform" can hide bugs that don't emerge until a certain rare set of conditions is present and we get glared at by the business folks who don't understand why we can't just "fix it" when it's buried in someone else's Jenga tower.

      Been there. Jquery broke. Ended up writing basic DOM manipulation in JS. Has worked fine for 15 years!
