The dragon was an old legacy test app that returned some test data. I needed it to return just an additional line of data, but having it do that was like going through a difficult boss battle. I stayed the course, kept poking at it, until I sundered its armor. Then I got a critical strike in, then another, and another. After almost a day of fighting the dragon, I started yesterday afternoon, I've defeated it. There's more work to be done. But for now, I get to breathe a sigh of relief and reclaim some of the energy I lost in the battle.
