Event loops are always fun. As a new developer to a proprietary platform, I followed some documentation while building out some potential combinations for matching type-ahead values (server-side computation, would then send possible results). Being a newbie to the platform, I followed some example documentation for iterating the collection type and building such a thing out. Where things get interesting is that the platform made use of Java handles on top of C objects, with no automatic garbage collection.
Following return from my first vacation at that job, I found out that the entire new app I had rolled out was reverted. Something to do with "the server kept crashing". Do tell. The best part, as the server had to aggregate enough memory handles to fill up before going down, I was able to show it working correctly after my return. Eventually it was found out and I cursed the documentation. That'll teach me to RTFM.

I read the docs, the docs were wrong.
