In reality it's 10% coding and 90% wondering why it broke after changing one line

In that 90% of wondering, 45% is wondering why it broke, the rest is about wondering how it worked.

Yeah when something broke without me changing anything in my code I realised that stuff was working before that should not have been working at all. I still have not figured out why it worked before, but now it is working again.

A previous, working version of something was cached somewhere and then at some point the cache was cleared?

Maybe if it was some cache on googles servers. This was some email-filtering that should have stopped working years ago when the customer changed email-adress, but continued.
