Yea, I have seen a very inappropriate debug statement being left in the led to the dev being promptly fired.

I was leading a startup development team in the late 90's and one of our developers told me that some very inappropriate test data had been sent to IBM to be included in a product demo and burned onto tens of thousands of discs that they would distribute.

Eventually it turned out that it was the single word "sheep" - which taken out of the relevant alt.* context was pretty harmless.

Talk about a moment when I thought my career had crashed and burned...

Please, do contextualize it?

Likewise; they tried to pin it on me, and I had to go to the Git commit history to show it was another employee. My administrative leave was promptly revoked.

“Western Digital” was replaced with “Woodly Doodly” on the srp. Not really thag embarassing but I am sure WD didn’t appreciate it
