Honestly the best part of troubleshooting is when I find out I was just being a massive dumbass the entire time. I go tell my team, friends, wife, etc, “I fixed it, I was just a dumbass, all I had to do was [thing]” and I revel in it because that shit is funny.

The angrier I am while troubleshooting, the funnier that reveal is for everyone.




I regularly inform my coworkers of my dumbass status. It’s funny and keeps me humble
