@nixCraft@mastodon.social forgot to write a break statement

@nixCraft@mastodon.social I'd like to file a DCMA takedown notice. I see myself in this image and I don't like it.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social hahaha, yes, this! I just had an engagement where after about a day of the customer trying to find the error in their WAF rules, eight people sat in a call to figure out why I cant reach the system under test. Typo in their documentation 😂

@nixCraft@mastodon.social usually I missed a semicolon or forgot to close a parantheses
