🐛 Bug Horror Stories
Every coder has a bug that haunts them. Add yours to the table below — keep it to one line, the more painful the better.
Warning⚠️ Conflict zone
Everyone edits this same file, so you’ll probably hit a merge conflict when you try to push. That’s intentional! Before you start, run git pull to grab the latest version, add your row to the bottom of the table, and if a conflict still happens, that’s your chance to practise resolving it. 💪
