+* they always fucking make every god damn package not build
+* unreliable network tests that fail in real build environments
+* spotty tests in general that may fail run to run for "reasons" (not environmental)
+* no one actually fucking looks at them
+* I estimate i've wasted ten years of my life tracking vague test failures

+## What is a git forge
+
+A git forge is, simply, a thing that hosts a(n) git repository. Your computer is likely a git forge if you have git installed on it, you just don't know it.
+
+Inside the FOSS (Free and Open-Source Software) space, a forge, generally, is considered a web-based "thing" that allows collaboration. Optionally, many git forges stack on additional "features" (we'll touch on this later) and have integrations with third party software that it can host all on its own. Some even go so far as to throw every "feature" under the sun at it in the hopes of remaining profitable.
