When your VM crashes while running CDC tests before you have a chance to push. Porque

Couple hours before:
Management: "Emergency/last minute Meeting in 2 hours! Please attend"

Meeting time:
Management: "We just wanted to let you know that our mask usage is being changed to fit the recent CDC guidance"

Total time wasted: 6 minutes. 12 if you count the time for any questions.

My first computer exposure was on a mainframe (CDC Cyber 180). My university in Kerala, India had a collaboration with the Indian defence organisation DRDO. The operating system was something called NOS/VE, though as I remember it could run some Unix version virtually. I had Fortran 77 programs to be developed as part of the course. (finite element methods). As I remember, the machine had built in routines for the same. Screen was a green on dark terminal conected to the thing. No windowing or graphics.
Today kids have more powerful machines at home (or in their pockets). The famous computing power law be praised.

Finally I've bought my new laptop...
I've called the CDC to help me in the first Win's boot! I didn't want to risk taking some strange disease! 🤣🤣🤣
Now Win has gone and Archlinux reigns!

This team of coders sharing with us how consumer driven contracts using Pact helped them detect client-breaking changes quite early in the cycle.

Then the facepalm moment follows. Suddenly my "boss" takes over and says - "You know what, we do better than this. We use a tool called cucumber and test the interface in every build...."

The presenter: "Oh yeah... You surely are ahead of the curve. You don't need pact. Cucumber it is..."

End of the story.
