Today is an exciting day for me. A temporary bug in one of my scripts that didn't account for a specific situation put anything with the words "Frank Zappa" in it into a single collection.
Every item. That mentions Frank Zappa.
2,112 items.

I may livestream the process. I'm carefully returning them where they originally lived in the archive's stacks.
There are people doing stuff like this every day in other libraries and archives, after a conversation that begins "Wait, did you..." and ends with 'Oh no."

Luckily, this is all digital. No Frank Zappas were harmed in this situation and all of them can be enjoyed instantly while I fix them.
1,788 left to do!
Update, my co-worker Jake came in with some additional backout features I didn't know we've been improving on and all the Zappas are back home safely, playing their guitars. Thanks, Jake!
