Content YOU CAN'T HAVE RUNTIME ERRORS Openin Sunday IF YOUR CODE DOESN'T COMPILE.

The dark magic of build systems strikes again! Kitware, the company behind CMake, somehow claims 24 million users despite no one ever voluntarily identifying as a "CMake user." It's like that moment when you realize you've been drafted into an army you never signed up for. The Saruman imagery is perfect because using CMake feels exactly like staring into a mysterious orb that shows you cryptic error messages while slowly draining your will to live. We all just wanted to compile our code, but instead we're part of some grand arcane ritual.

Production is literally engulfed in flames, users are screaming, the database is melting, and someone in the corner casually suggests "we should write more unit tests" like that's gonna resurrect the burning infrastructure. Classic developer optimism right there. Sure, Karen from QA, let's write unit tests while the entire system is returning 500s faster than a caffeinated API. Unit tests are great for preventing fires, but once the building is already ablaze, maybe we should focus on the fire extinguisher first? Just a thought. The beautiful irony here is that unit tests are supposed to catch problems before they reach production. It's like suggesting someone should've worn sunscreen while they're actively getting third-degree burns. Technically correct, but the timing needs work.

Ah yes, the classic "fix" that fixes nothing. Committing your .env file to Git is like putting your house keys under the welcome mat and posting the address on Twitter. Sure, your code errors are gone... along with your database credentials, API keys, and whatever shred of respect your senior dev had for you. But hey, ship it.
