I feel like there are a couple of obvious problems that exist:

- Knowing that such a person exists - Knowing that the fix is simple - Knowing that they will have time to look at a thing quickly

I'm a person who will answer any question on any topic if asked, and help anyone with anything if I have the ability to do so. That's because I enjoy doing stuff in general and my long projects aren't meaningfully going to suffer. Counterpoint, the only people pestering me on this are friends / close colleagues and it wouldn't scale.

I reckon that the net benefit of being willing to do that to the company is positive, but honestly I'd do it anyway because sometimes 2 hours hacking on a powershell script is a welcome distraction!
