Pager haiku

Tonight was my first night of pager duty. Naturally, I was woken up with about a problem that went away as soon as I looked for it. My email to the dev team about this:

Pager haiku:

  Transient errors
  speed by in the dead of night.
  Who knows what they were?

OK, OK, it's a senryu, not a haiku. Like anybody's going to know that? (I think my next email will have to use the word "heisenbug")


heisenbug?

What does the term "heisenbug" cover?

Heisenbug. Basically, it's a bug that behaves differently if you look at it.
