hahahaha, wow! I really thought this was a joke list. That’s stunning.

Yeah not a joke. Straight from the W24 batch page... I'm sure these weren't even the most absurd.

You misunderstand how Shazam works. Nothing is “sent in full”.

What medication?

Orthodontist or orthopedist?


It reads like a typo, but given their pain was ameliorated by using a mouth guard, they meant what they said: orthodontist.


This particular nugget has been known for nearly 15 years.


I mean plenty of TV shows claim to know how these people respond, I'm sure there are current docs that render my satire obsolete - but until its packaged neatly in less than 200 chars who cares /s


It's been awhile since I've been in a data center, but fiber cables were usually the ones that seemed to have more staying power even when they started to flake. Maybe because some of them were long runs and they weren't cheap. You'd see some absolutely wrenched cable going into rack at a horrifying angle from the tray on 30ft run with greater regularity than I'd care to admit.


That you’re aware of.


I come from security background and have been following best practices since 1997 so I’m pretty sure I have not made a blunder of this sort


Yes, the answer must be additional processes and procedures. That way, you’ll never make a mistake! /s

Also bizarre to frame this as “unacceptable behavior”, as if whoever is involved was in some way aware of their mistake and/or would say “this is acceptable behavior!” when confronted with it or something.


GP framed leaking all your keys at something that happens when you are tired or distracted.

This is unacceptable behaviour for a professional in my eyes.


Humans are gonna human, if you have an environment where you fail to account for this, this will happen. Reminds me of a dev dropping a production database, or the aws engineer who incorrectly entered a command and brought down s3: many things have gone wrong to even be at this point, blaming a human for behaving like a human in an inhospitable environment is silly. Effort is almost always better spent building a system which is safer to operate for the people involved.


That’s why I recommend in my original comment as well: get a better process.

The person I replied to understood it as “piling on more and more agile bs” but IMO that was just bad faith so I ignored it.

You need both - processes that are lightweight but solid where it matters - operators who give a shit


Parent comment never suggested it was legal. They said it would be bad if this info was in their SalesForce and they leaked the key, which they did.


When did this scrolly website thing come back into fashion?

I feel like it was hot about 10 years ago, and recently that daylight computer website and now this one use it. It's an incredibly bad experience that I thought we'd grown out of.
