It's amazing the number of times I look at some simple code and think "nah, this is so simple it doesn't need a test!", add tests anyway (because I know I should)... and immediately find the test fails because of an issu

I've suffered from life-long depression, since I was around 5 years old. I won't go into the details here, but it will suffice to say that it's been a fucking horrible waste of life. A couple of years ago I was prescribed ket
