Nothing As Permanent As A Temporary Solution
Ah yes, the classic "temporary solution" that somehow survives three system migrations, two CTO changes, and the heat death of the universe.

The only thing more permanent than a temporary fix is the existential dread of the developer who has to maintain it.

Future developers will build religions around your commented "TODO: fix this properly later" from 2015.

The bell curve of debugging intelligence. At the bottom left and right, the simple souls with their "just reset it bro" approach—blissfully unaware but sometimes right. Meanwhile, the 34% crowd in the middle is sweating through Root Cause Analysis like it's their religion. They're writing 12-page documents about why the server hiccupped at 2:17 PM last Tuesday. Truth is, both the village idiot and the enlightened sage arrive at the same conclusion: turning it off and on again fixes 90% of problems. The difference? One spent 8 hours documenting the electron flow through the CPU first.
