There is a fantastic episode of Sawbones that goes into how we discovered vitamin K and why doctors started giving it to newborns. It cut infant mortality by a significant amount. I recommend it for anyone who has doubts or who just geeks out over science.
I remember when creating a zip file from the finder filled it with a bunch of resource fork files that confused the hell out of anyone opening it on windows.
It didn't have access to any db. In short: It went looking in the codebase for a credential to manage the staging environment, found a testing credential unrelated to anything it was doing, that the devs didn't know had permissions to administer anything, and then used that to delete the wrong db.
It's linkedin fluff. Probably LLM generated as well. It has that long-running-paragraph-repeating-the-same-points-multiple-times that speaks to someone asking an LLM to make an essay longer.
You only think it's soft because nothing in your life relies on it. For the companies who were hosted there it was a pretty big deal.
