One, two, three, they gonna run back to me
Climbing over mountains and a-sailing over seas
One, two, three, they gonna run back to me

IT support, on the other hand, is more akin to exorcism. In a shaking voice the terrified user describes all the classic signs of a possessed computer, yet when you enter their cubicle and ask them to show you the polterbug, it has already fled in terror and the computer is working flawlessly again. You perform the ritual of reboot anyway, just to be sure.

Then you don’t even have to seduce the developer anymore, as the programming socks will grant you the power to fix the bug yourself.
That’s intentional. So if one part of the code suffers a random mutation and spontaneously develops a bug, the redundant code can still ensure the proper functioning of the program while the bug gets fixed.
Just take care if you merge two branches that contain the same bug; you might end up with a program without functional redundant code. That’s why you should never merge closely related branches.
Using the C++ standard library beyond the C backwards compatible parts? What devilry is this‽
