Have You Tried Turning It Off And On Again?

Content Heisenbug Article Talk XA For the Linux distribution codenamed Heisenbug, see Fedora Linux. Not to be confused with Heisenberg. In computer programming jargon, a heisenbug is a software bug that seems to disappear or alter its behavior when one attempts to study it. 1 The term is a pun on the name of Werner Heisenberg, the physicist who first asserted the observer effect of quantum mechanics, which states that the act of observing a system inevitably alters its state. In electronics, the traditional term is probe effect, where attaching a test probe to a device changes its behavior.

That peaceful smile when you've had enough of merge conflicts and decide nuclear options are the only way forward. Nothing says "I'm done debugging this repository" like force pushing to master and walking away from the explosion. Sure, your colleagues might hate you tomorrow, but that's tomorrow's problem. Today, you choose chaos.

The ultimate case of mistaken identity! This person confused McDonald's McCafé coffee with McAfee antivirus software and is genuinely upset their computer still has viruses after buying coffee. It's like trying to fix your car by eating a wrench. Next up: buying Apple products to keep doctors away and installing Windows to improve home ventilation. The desperate cry of "I buy your product & my PC still has virus" is peak tech support nightmare fuel—somewhere a McAfee engineer is screaming into their actual coffee.

The moment you mention you "work with computers," your entire extended family suddenly transforms into a horde of technological zombies with broken printers and forgotten passwords. It's like being the only doctor at a hypochondriac convention, except instead of asking if that mole looks cancerous, it's "Why is my Facebook doing that thing?" What thing? THE thing. You know. THAT thing. And they all expect immediate tech support during Thanksgiving dinner while your turkey gets cold and your will to live evaporates faster than RAM in a Chrome tab.

Ah, the infamous triple authentication check! Because checking once if a user is authorized wasn't paranoid enough, so let's do it THREE times in nested if statements. It's like telling your crush "Are you sure? Are you really sure? Are you ABSOLUTELY sure?" before believing they actually like you. The funniest part? This code would functionally be identical to a single authorization check. It's the security equivalent of locking your door, then checking it's locked, then checking again... while leaving your windows wide open. Somewhere, a senior developer is having heart palpitations looking at this redundant security theater.
