A friend of mine spent an entire workday figuring out how to ensure he created the millionth ticket in our help desk. Not sure how he cracked it in the end but we had a little team party to celebrate the achievement.

This was probably fifteen years ago. I feel like working in tech was more fun back then.

I was involved in the 99,999th and the 100,000th one in my FQA days.

We were being onboarded, they were just for demo and were promptly deleted. No one cared about the Cool Numbers.

In my first job I raised JIRA-1337 and was pretty chuffed with myself, being on a team of young, nerdy gamer type folk. My manager not so much, they wanted to raise it (for a meme?) but I was doing actual work rather than watching numbers go up so that was quite satisfying when it was a genuine defect.

I wonder which is the latest ID today then...
