When CI/CD Best Practices Backfire

When I read a guide on CI/CD pipelines best practices and it says: "Do not just click 'Re-run failed jobs' five times in a row hoping the flaky integration test passes by pure luck" What the f*ck?

A man reads a book in a dim room, reacts with growing confusion and anger, and the clip cuts to dark exterior shots before ending on a book lying on the ground. The joke is aimed at developers who repeatedly rerun failed CI/CD jobs despite knowing that flaky tests should be fixed rather than ignored; the dramatic reaction and music turn ordinary engineering advice into an absurd crisis reaction.
