    At a startup a long time ago, I was working on the weekend and brought my 3 year old with me. We had a customer coming in next week and this one machine was 5 days into a 7 day model build.

    We had to go into that office to help someone with something unrelated. The little shit saw the blinking light and headed straight for the button.

    On this computer (HP 710), it didn’t shut off until you released the button. He actually was just pressing it but got spooked when I tried to get to it.

    The next day our CEO told the guys that built that app that it had to be made so it could recover from crashes and restart from where it left off.
