pavlovian RC bug response
I have a very loud proliant server which powers itself on and installs Debian 30 times a day, starting at 4 am. I can't really hear it when I'm in my bedroom, or at least I've learned not to be woken up by it. If all the installs go well, (or fail immediatly and miserably), they're done by 11 am or so, when I get up.
If, like today, there is a release critical bug of some kind, it waits 30 minutes between installs, and retries them. This can easily keep it loudly running until 6 pm.
After a few months of this, I have an innate need to file release critical bugs when I hear a loud computer during daylight hours. I also find it very satisfying to file them.
