Today I set out to find why $thing wasn't working when I tested it a year ago.
Set up my debugging environment, everything.
Reproduced the bug.
Implemented the solution that didn't work a year ago. It works now.
Something got fixed in $thing in the year since, and now I am left without a puzzle, which I was using to procrastinate doing the thing I actually have to do.
