This is my favorite. Doesn't even compile, or crashes immediately, and yet... it's somehow in a PR.

I've done that. Spend days testing a patch, getting everything just right. Then, as you're doing final touchup, you introduce a syntax error with a wrong keystroke and fail to notice before pushing to the PR branch.

But, of course, this is why we use CI.
