Oh boy, I know of at least one case where a single line of code cost ~$500k…

Curious where the high-water mark is across all HNers (:



Others have reported higher already, but for data:

Our team had a bug that cost us about $120k over a week.

Another bug running on a large system had an unmeasurable cost. (Could $K, could be $M)


I would be surprised if half of the user on this site did _not_ create or personally see a bug where a line cost way more than $8000


$1.2mln, gone in about 30 minutes.
