You wrote a query to list your customers and their orders. It ran fine — but half your customers vanished from the results. The ones who never placed an order simply weren't there. Nothing errored, no...
It's 11 p.m., you're two hours into a feature, and you decide to "clean things up." You delete a file you were sure you didn't need. Ten minutes later your app won't start, and that file is the reason...
You wrote a query. It ran. And then it returned 40,000 rows when your `customers` table only has 8,000. Or worse: it returned nothing at all, even though you can see the matching records right there i...

You've been heads-down on a feature branch for four days. The tests pass, the code is clean, you're proud of it. Then you open the pull request and someone leaves a one-line comment: "Can you rebase o...
