Fun one:

I work on a server software of online backups for customers. We do daily thousands of mount/umount of a particular filesystem. Once every month or so, we get an issue where a file timestamp fails to save, the error happens at the filesystem level.

Hard to reproduce! It's a filesystem bug! So it's full theorical, reading code and seeing how it would happen.

Found out after a while, the conditions were fun. I don't remember exactly, but it was like, you need to follow these steps : 1/ Create a folder 2/ Create in it 99 files (no more no less) 3/ Create a new folder 4/ Copy the first of the 99 files in the new folder

The issue was linked to some data structure caching, and cache eviction.

Had fun finding it out!

I like to start doing things, just because I want to, and do not have to stress about it being "likable" by others, and thus generating money.

I make some woodworking? No thinking about starting an instagram account, gathering audience, trying to sell, making a newsletter..

I travel? No need for me to publish travel hacks stuff just to fund my travelling.

We work in IT, we are very fortunate to make $$$. Let's work part time, and have more time for us, really for us.

Every evening for 4 years :

Pasta + Ketchup + Wasabi.

I just love it, and feel no need to change that!
