## why it's a gotcha
-you've been coding for 20 hours straight. you made fixes. you forgot to restart. now the demo shows the old broken version and you're standing there confused about why your fix isn't working.
+you've been coding for 20 hours straight. you made fixes. you forgot to restart. now the demo shows the old broken version and you're standing there confused about why your fix isn't working. stale environments cause the same confusion as [[it-works-on-my-machine|"it works on my machine"]] bugs.
## the fix
-add "restart all services" to a pre-demo checklist. do it 5 minutes before you present, not 30 seconds before. give yourself time to catch anything that doesn't come back up cleanly.
