> Percussive debugging

S-tier term. Will need to add that to my repertoire.




Nothing a bit of percussive maintenance cannot solve!


As the old cartoon said: the repairman charged $5000 to come fix a machine. When he showed up with a hammer, walked up to the machine and gave it a whallop with a hammer and it immediately started working.

The bossman asked for an invoice which he wrote up on the spot.

It consisted of two lines:

1) tapping the machine $5

2) knowing where to tap: $4995
