A comic in which a developer commits directly to master, temporarily breaking the build. Another developer has the misfortune to fetch master whilst broken, and creates a feature branch from the broken commit. This causes confusion later on when the tests fail in an area of the code that they had not modified on the branch. Had the developer created the branch via the Bitbucket UI, they would have been warned that the branch they were creating a commit from was currently failing the tests.
