Rust CI meltdown on first release

Rust doesn't save you from bad assumptions. Two CI failures in twenty minutes proves that. The type system catches null pointers, not missing health endpoints or misconfigured gRPC timeouts. You traded segfaults for integration hell. I've been there: spent a week polishing a crate, pushed the release, and watched my Docker compose stack fall over because the health check returned 200 before the message bus was ready. The article's author owns that pain. Good. But the real lesson is that CI is a lie if it doesn't spin up real dependencies. That red build wasn't a mistake, it was the truth you skipped in testing. Don't call it a release until you've watched it boot from scratch in a container. Rust's compile guarantees are cold comfort when your runtime graph has a cycle you never saw. Ship fast, sure, but test the full stack first. Or just get used to that red badge.
