So today I accidentally wrote a non-termating for loop that sent POST requests en masse to our server and likely crashed it while I was peer programming with my team lead, how's y'all's day goin?

So you kind of DoS'd your own server? 😅

@PonySlaystation Maaaaaybe (yes). My boss didn't seem upset though. Said he'd done it before too. Between that and minor syntax errors I kinda feel like I made a fool of myself though, in a "knows just enough to be dangerous" kind of way.

Super early in my career I wrote a loop not realizing it was infinite that opened a database connection without closing it with each iteration. It made it to production and took down the company website. I feel ya, bro.

😂

I've done a few similar things.

Like. Accidentally summoned every logged in player on the current mmo server to my location. Oops. It was somewhere players couldn't get, so. They were mostly kinda happy. Okay, not really, but some were. The raiders and spar tourney people were really pissed off though.

Or when I made an update to the chat system and nobody could talk for ten minutes 😅
