It is not like it takes a lot of code. I am not sure of syntax, but it would be no more than something like

set quantity of breeze spells on appropriate vendor to 10000

And you can't possibly know what is going on behind the scenes outside of this assumption.

Many years ago, I was doing systems administration work for a cartoon company in Fort Worth, TX (FUNimation Entertainment, if you're curious). I was basically their entire I.T. staff, handling everything from desktops to databases, servers to switches, faxes to firewalls. There was a crazy week where we had a pretty bad storage server meltdown and video production was halted during a critical push. This shit had to be fixed as soon as possible. Two hours into the repair, our email server took a nosedive and the company pretty well ground to a halt. I shut the doors to my office and worked on getting things repaired as quickly as I could.

About an hour into my troubleshooting, I heard a knock on my door and before I could answer it, Michelle from accounting (a 350lb behemoth) stomps in and started bitching to me about her iTunes library. I have Microsoft premier support on speakerphone and we all get to hear her whine about iTunes for 30 seconds. I tell her that we have bigger issues right now and we'll fix it after the freaking company is operational. She storms off, the ground shaking under her weight. Two hours later, still working through the issues... with Symantec and Microsoft techs pointing fingers at each other, Michelle's coworker comes in my office and explains that she too is having issues with her iTunes. I'm obviously sitting there doing nothing because MS & Symantec are doing all the work, so why can't I just come down and fix it? It's an easy fix... Buuhreeeeeeeeeezzzzeeeeee!!! Breeeeeezzzzeeeeeee!!!

Breeze!!!

I spent all night working through those issues. And then I went home. I took the next day off. Michelle and Jody didn't have their precious iTunes library for 2 days and I didn't care. The following day I basically handled every other request, fixed every single problem I possibly could until the last second until heading downstairs to take a look at their iTunes problem. It turned out both Michell & Jody had unplugged their speakers and couldn't hear their music. So they were right - it was an easy fix. I probably could have fixed it during the crises. But they annoyed me so badly I didn't want anything to do with them and they were LAST on my priorities.

Long story short... don't annoy the Devs.
