This. If I pay the cost in frustration and anguish and soul-searching and demanding justice from an uncaring god, I want some thing for it. I want documentation. I want my lessons learned from the post incident review. I want something I can hack into mgmtConfig to make sure nothing else will do that too.
Struggling for no payoff is the absolute worst thing.

Soooo much this. I’m down to learn about technology any day of the week. But when I ‘fix’ something and I don’t know what the ‘fix’ really was, it is a rush of mixed emotions. I am ecstatic relieved the problem is fixed, but left empty not having learned the ‘why it broke’ in the first place. And then I’m always fearful that the problem will gestate in my lab and rear it’s ugly head again at some other inopportune time.
