Hey, just wanted to let you know that your self posting wasn’t in vain. I’ve enjoyed the tension and the resolution of your story. Thank you for coming back to conclude the thread. Nothing is more frustrating than seeing someone else have the exact same problem as you and then see them post “solved” without explaining how.

And of course, there’s an XKCD for it: xkcd: Wisdom of the Ancients

As for how it could have happened, AFAIK you had to run precompile at some point, perhaps accidentally or maybe indirectly (by accidentally running something else in production environment).
