This reminds me of this old hacker koan:
Well it’ll work, until the unfixed root cause break the machine again.
what if the root cause was some system variable, which got reset on boot and never happens again (for example some code you wrote accidentally triggered lower voltage for your cpu, and you have hitches)
Just ask Tom to reboot it again.
You don’t really know it will cause it to break again with no understanding of what is going on.
“Problems that go away by themselves come back by themselves.”
I thought there was a chance that AlexisFR would respond without realizing that I was repeating the important part of the koan as a joke, because you don’t always see the context when looking at replies to your comments. But I didn’t expect that a random person who had apparently just read the koan 5 seconds earlier would already have forgotten it.
