0.2 lines of code per hour

I often try to communicate to my students that development can be a slow process sometimes, recounting stories about “bad days” when you change only a single line of code. Well today we actually had one of those days. Logan, a co-worker of mine did most of the grueling investigation and eventually found out that
TCPSocket.do_not_reverse_lookup=true
makes FTP connections on Windows not suck (ala 6 second delay on each request). At least I’m pretty sure there’s no bugs hiding in that one line of code. We’ll add some tests just to be sure.
