saw a taapsee interview about wanting roles people wouldn't associate with her, which is fair, but I have not watched a hindi film in maybe two years

genuine question for people running playwright in CI: do you quarantine a flaky spec or keep it failing loudly until someone fixes it

we've got 6 sitting in a quarantine tag since june and nobody has touched them, which feels like the wrong answer but so does a red board every morning

announcing a break from film music is just a very dramatic way of saying i'm done fixing this test suite. mine would be titled "ab tum retry karo"
