Fictional problem card
Merge conflict from hell
47 files changed. Both branches touched the same config. Good luck.
The scenario
You just merged two branches that both edited the same configuration file. Forty seven changed files now refuse to cooperate while your terminal spits out errors. The version control system has officially given up on you.
How it plays
This problem card adds 11 burnout to your meter when the code category triggers. You must play a health, tools, or humor coping card to reduce the burnout and clear the conflict.
Why it feels familiar
Every developer knows the dread of a Friday afternoon pull request where two teammates silently edited the exact same settings file. You spend the rest of the day manually resolving line by line while questioning your career choices.
This problem card adds 11 burnout. It belongs to code and can be countered by health, tools, humor coping.
