I just fixed a nasty little bug that might have been preventing people from posting comments. It was an ugly thing that could only happen in mod_perl, so tracking it down was a bit interesting. The fix itself was, as usual, just one line. All the nastiest bugs are one-line fixes.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
