alt Hacker News> There is no worse feeling for a programmer than waking up, walking up to the machine that was supposed to work through the night, and seeing it did absolutely nothing, stupidly waiting for hours for a response to a question that didn't even matter.
No, there's one worse feeling. Walking up to the machine that was supposed to work throughout the night, and seeing it had a surprise update that rebooted the system.
One of my favorite things about ditching Windows.
This is no longer just a Windows feature. The same thing happened to me the other day on MacOS. They recently shipped a "background" update to fix a security issue and it quite unceremoniously rebooted the machine to apply the update.
