@boegel Something mentioned (and shouted from the audience) is "make software that only compiles on a Wednesday after 3pm", but it seems to me that the reverse is far better: make software that only *doesn't* compile at some common but inscrutable time.
@operand @boegel we had pants fail to compile once when the git hash (1) started with a number of zeros (2) was parseable as a decimal number because of some internal serialization logic. we should never have been parsing git hashes in a generic way that could enable int parsing in the first place so i was very glad to have fixed that
@hipsterelectron IIRC #Forgejo database migrations don't/didn't work if the version string starts with a letter other than v, but numbers are fine. If you build its Dockerfile on a commit that isn't tagged to a version, the resulting image might or might not fail migrating the database because of that. @operand @boegel
@boegel AWESOME!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU
