I root caused so many hard to debug issues in the shower! Including some obscure bug in Darwin kernel implemented in assembly. Not that I take my laptop to the shower but exactly like the parent thread mentioned, the problem is still background processing in your head.

(Amusing to see “root caused” == “diagnosed” and != “caused”.)

As a non-native English speaker, on of my favorite things about English is that you can (ab)use just about any noun as a verb and make it sound natural
