It’s easy to point at YAML and shake one’s head: “ya did it again old chap!”. Yet, software engineering is full of foot guns like that.
I tend to joke that working in the industry made me lose all the trust I ever had in me. I don’t believe any deployed code unless it can be confirmed by two independent sources and a runtime telemetry.
Here, I expected hash collision which is rare, but in my lifetime I’ve seen my share of “it really shouldn’t happen but somehow it happened”. Couple weeks ago I’ve seen author at a random library implementing queue (with ACKs!) for UDP packet transmission.
Truly an amazing career for chaos keepers.
