On March 2, 2020, the stock market saw its biggest single-day point gain in history. Every broker was making a fortune... except one. Robinhood was dead. The screens were black. The users were locked out.
Why? Because the developers forgot that 2020 was a Leap Year.
In Part 2 of the Robinhood Trilogy, Mr. Ed explores the dark side of "Moving Fast and Breaking Things." We look at what happens when database logic fails in the real world—from the DNS error that couldn't handle "February 29th" to the infamous "Infinite Money Glitch" that let reddit users print millions of dollars using broken margin logic.
In this episode:
The Leap Day Bug: The exact technical failure (DNS & Sharding logic) that caused a total system blackout because the code couldn't find "March 3rd" on a Leap Year calendar.
The Infinite Money Cheat Code: How a user named ControlTheNarrative exploited a race condition in the database to turn $2,000 into $50,000 of leverage using "Box Spreads."
The Aftermath: What happens when a "Tech Company" realizes it has to be a "Bank."
The code was fast, but the logic was flawed. This is the story of the crash.
