Dropped $400 on a thermal imaging camera for my truck, still on the fence about it.

I bought it to spot hot spots in motors and bad connections without tearing things apart first. It's saved me a ton of time on a few complex jobs, but I still don't reach for it every day like my regular meter. For the guys who have one, do you find it pays for itself or is it more of a niche tool?

Honestly, it's a lifesaver for the tricky calls.

@charlesowens knows what's up for sure. Read an article the other day where some DevOps guy swore by having a "panic button" script that automates rollbacks and hotfixes in one command. Whole point was it saves you from those 2 AM panic attacks when you're blaming past decisions. Smart approach honestly because it keeps you from making things worse while you're already stressed.

My buddy saved his whole project last week with that same trick.
