I _know_. Look, filesystem development is as high stakes as it gets. Normal kernel development, you fuck up - you crash the machine, you lose some work, you reboot, people are annoyed but generally it's ok. In filesystem land, you can corrupt data and not find out about it until weeks later, or _worse_. I've got stories to give people literal nightmares. Hell, that stuff has fueled my own nightmares for years. You know how much grey my beard has now? Which is why I have spent many years of my life building a codebase and development process where I can work productively where I can not just catch but recover from pretty much any fuckup imaginable. Because peace of mind is priceless...
