I loved so much reading it, I was thinking that if someone were to write fictional, sherlock holmes like fantasy story where our sherlock would take some (maybe fictional) widely used software at each episode, investigate it like this, and reveal some (fictional) grand bug in the end- I'd totally read it.

Yeah I know it sounds stupid, but I suspect real Sherlock Holmes was inspired by a true story like this one too, and at least some contemporary detectives started to enjoy reading them.

There’s no need for the examples to be fictional, there are more than enough real world cases to share. Sadly, many of my personal ones end in “I filed a bug with an annotated screenshot of decompiled code indicating where they should fix it but nothing happened”.
