I'm a computer programmer. That isn't insanity, that's pretty much par for the course.
"This used to work and then I rebooted and now it doesn't." "Try rebooting agin." "It works now."
Less flip, the job is often about doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results until you can figure out what it is that's causing the differences so you can make adjustments until you do the same thing over and over and you do get the same results. At this point, the code may still be broken, but at least it's broken consistently and that's pretty much half the battle right there.
