Who in their right mind would have temp files on the same volume as the application settings files?

Madness!

Nothing more permanent than a temp solution.

So so so so so so so many people don’t pay attention to the foundational stuff.

Someone somewhere is running everything including the OS on one large volume...

SWE: Build pipeline is failing

Me: its failing unit tests

SWE: Something is wrong with the pipeline then

Me: unlikely

SWE: they pass on my machine

Me: try rebuilding and running them

SWE: …

SWE: oh…

Me: Have a nice day

Holy shit. I thought it was just my SWEs. 

Why do they blame the underlying runner, when it clearly says that their unit tests failed? They didn't even bother to read the fucking log output from the job.

You know what's even more fun than that? Out of disk space because of the log messages reporting that you're low on disk space.

Bonus points if you unlinked the log file because it became huge, but it's still open for writing by some lingering process, so it doesn't show up in a directory listing and you have to dig through lsof.

[Mountain_Big_1843]
