Birds are supposed to eat bugs, aren’t they?
It turns out that sometimes a bird can become a “bug” in an IT system.
The picture below was taken by the camera installed at one of the Russian Railways’ freight car wheel measurement systems, the software for which we help develop. Depot operators need the picture of the train passing through the system to check its serial number, but this little bird hinders them from their work!
The bird is brave enough to build its nest right inside the system unit, very close to the railways. It may be a good tradeoff for her, because it is warm in the box thanks to the camera heating equipment. Or maybe she likes to watch trains passing by, who knows?
