I must've been a lucky one. I develop software since 80s. Went from directly entering machine codes and up to enterprise middleware, backends and various device control and multimedia game like systems. In all my life I've only had a single case of deadlock. But it cost me more than 24 hours no sleep marathon trying to nail it down. It was related to communication between my custom Directshow filters and threads in a main software.
