You can stare at that code all afternoon but you won't spot the bug until a microsecond after you hit "commit".
I'm not sure I understand, what's wrong with this commit?
- 1 change, forgot to enable the setting previously
What am I looking at?
- ~~Whoever committed this change thinks updating the text on the UI for this system will automagically fix issue.~~
  
  ~~It’s like editing the HTML on your bank’s website to show you have $1B in the bank 😂~~
  
  Issue here committer forgot to update UI to expose the feature person was working on
  
  No, the settings already existed, they just forgot to expose it
  
  Yeah without more context it just seemed they were renaming the setting as part of a larger diff
  
  I'm not convinced that's it, but I don't know enough to explain why.
No lie, I have seen a "shit-hot c++ programmer" who became a manager check this shit in and then ask why it didn't work.
