You’ve never seen a programming error triggered by a user rapidly mutating state?

The programming in question here is ucode instead of application code, but it’s programming nonetheless.



Do you have an example of that? All I can think of are weird edge cases with animations.


The canonical example that I can think of is the entire "race condition" bug class. But also TOCTTOU, caching bugs, &c. (all of which are arguably also in the race condition category.)
