If somebody tries to hot-patch an already-hot-patched function
The article examines the scenario where a developer attempts to apply a hot patch to a function that has already been patched, highlighting potential complications such as overwritten changes, debugging difficulties, and best practices for managing multiple patches. It reviews how patching tracks applied changes, the risk of inconsistent behavior when patches overlap, and recommends versioning patches or using idempotent patching techniques to maintain stability.
