Right! Which is why integration tests for these kinds of features are all the more important.
It was also fun to write, and enabled git-bisecting to isolate the specific kernel refactoring which introduced this bug: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/532499

Linear is where my projects like Booker Blitz and Kuro live. It integrates with most of the other tools I use (exception being TickTick 👀) and has been my go-to project management tool for years. In the AI age, a project management tool needs to expose the API via MCP in order to stay competitive, Linear not only does this but it also jus released its own built-in agent that can interact with your workspace and I totally recomend checking out.
