Most problems are being solved by turning it off and on again.

The navy manual for troubleshooting equipment in the field includes "lift 3-6 inches and drop"

Percussive maintenance can help sometimes. It's not a permanent fix but you can't always do the right fix in the middle of the ocean. Things it can help with: dislodging debris in mechanical components, reseating electrical connections that are corroding, and making yourself feel better.

To be fair, you may not always want a permanent fix for everything. Mostly because the most permanent solution will always be a temporary one. :v

High velocity decommissioning also satisfies that last item.

What? Did I turn it off and on again? I’m a very smart technology person, of course my big brain already thought of that. I develop software for a living. It couldn’t be that simple or I wouldn’t be calling you.

. . .

Turning it off and on again worked. My shame is immense and I have wasted everybody’s time.

(And that is how I learned to embrace my own idiocy and do the recommended, simple troubleshooting tasks without questioning them.)

Dude, I just had my mechanic call and tell me my car was out of oil. I've never felt so dumb and ashamed.

I have anxiety and depression. Gonna give your idea a try.

isn't that what they are researching with psilocybin? I could use that big time to reset my head. I have severe health anxiety.

And if that doesn't work unplug it for a while and plug it back in.

This is a funny joke and all but it's so far from actually true.

A good chunk of my work is scheduled turning off and on again in the right order so things don't break
