#gdb has a python API, and it's the absolute worst. I have been struggling all day to make pretty printers for some types and I'm honestly baffled as to how this was accepted for release.

Great way to start your day: start a long overdue change in a struct that results in 124 compiler errors.

I think simplifying the git model in beginner git tutorials is the greatest cause of mistakes newbies make. It's weird seeing eg `git-rebase` or `git-add -p` as "advanced features". Git in itself is advanced; yes, there is a learning curve but trying to dumb it down to reduce initial effort frequently means shooting yourself in the foot later on.
