I mean, I've been working with (some variety of) this codebase for like 16 years now. I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO FEEL CONFIDENT YOU ADEQUATELY UNDERSTAND ALL THE DETAILS OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU CHANGE THAT ONE LINE. It's eighteen years' worth of legacy Perl! Sometimes I think it's a wonder it still works at all.
(This is why occasionally, we will do a code push, and five minutes later, we will make another code push consisting only of the emergency commit that has a commit message of just "lol oops" or similar...)
