He knew something was wrong with it's memory when the elevator didn't remember him

I don't know how to see a memory bug in an out of order elevator, but I once saw and reported a wiring error of a working elevator. It was an interesting talk at the reception desk, but as I could precisely describe what was wrong and the verifyable consequences, they took me seriously. And sent me a "Thank You" email later ;-)

Were your working on the elevator or just riding it? If the latter, I imagine even being able to see the wiring was an issue.

I was just using it. But the behavior/reaction to button presses showed me that a button was obviously connected to the wrong function.

You know how everything has LCD screens these days? And sometimes you'll witness a good old crash? I know I've seen quite a few.
I'm guessing something like that.

OP commented if you didn't notice:

For those who don't know, Graydon Hoare created rust language after seeing memory bug on out of order elevator.

Yeah, I noticed the times, that's why I was letting you know. 😁
