I had that once! Googled "how to run X on Y" and got a familiar name on a mailing list. Turns out he already did what I was about to try to do.

I've run into that where code was twisted in knots, so I went with an intuitive approach, just to run into an error. See ex employee from before my time's post. Revert, add comment detailing why, with link to post.

Edit - Also, another coworker reviewing PR with notes commenting "oh yeah, I wasted a day on that too. Good call on the comment and link"
