I work in IT and my boss who is by all accounts very competent in both programming and administration, yet all his documentation basically says “remember to set DoTheRightThing=True”
Back in the olde days of programming (I’m talking about compilers from the 80s) the coding connoisseur knew that getting a certain error that seemed like nonsense could easily be solved by adding an extra, or removing a remark line from the top of the code and recompiling.

#pragma OccasionallyCrash falseDamn, I must’ve been missing this in my code the whole time.
Not even joking, I’ve got a project that crashes the MSVC linker with “Internal compiler error occurred” like 1 out of every 5 builds.
