It always amazes me the amount of code I encounter that it is clear no one has ever tried to execute. People will have a week of checkins building some API out, and it maybe compiles, but as soon as you try to just hit it with Postman with a real request, it blows up like a grenade going off in a glass shop.

I just don't know how people do it. I have to iterate and poke at things constantly as I go.
