I had to make some optimistic assumptions to meet the revenue target. In week three, we're visited by an alien named D'utox Inag who offers to share his advanced technology. --Dilbert

I was scheduled to make a presentation to senior management on our solution to a problem that would cause our platform to crash within 5 to 7 days. The presentation was scheduled before we developed a solution. We didn't have the question and management wanted to know the answer. My presentation was: this is the problem as we see it now, this is who is working on the solution, “then a miracle happens”, production is fine.
It was not as funny as Dilbert, but it bought us time to discuss options and find a solution that kept production live. We did not go dark.
For many months people used “and than a miracle happens” as their answer to difficult production issues.
