New followers, welcome! Quick #introduction:
- You can query anything as a database.
- Bugs suck, but better testing is easier than you think.
- SemVer is impossible by hand, but linters make it work.
- Your Wi-Fi might only work *while* it's raining.
All this + a lot of #rustlang right here

SemVer is impossible by hand, but linters help a lot.
Even expert programmers keep breaking SemVer by accident. But automation is *really good* at finding what humans miss.

A real hardware problem I had to debug: a Wi-Fi link that had 90%+ packet drop *unless* it was currently raining.
One of those "if it hadn't happened to me personally, I would have called it fiction" stories. It really happened!

@predrag That was a nice read! I guess nature wanted to tell you that you should enjoy life outside when the weather is nice :D
@tamme quite possibly!
The girl I was trying to stay in touch with (and thus needed the wifi to work) is now my wife, so it was all worth it in the end 
@predrag anything is a database if you believe
@noah absolutely! And it turns out, it's not that hard to believe
