The post body:

[...] big refactoring project to replace the usage of double types with decimal types. Everything seemed to go well, at least until there was a network hiccup and the application couldn't connect to the database. Let's see if you can figure out what happened:

MessageBox.Show("Please decimal check the connection details. Also check firewall settings (port 1433) and network connectivity.");

What a clbuttic mistake.

I don't actually get the joke with clbuttic, though. ๐Ÿค”

Someone did s/double/decimal/g (find 'double', replace by 'decimal') on the whole project.

Please decimal check

lol

This is why you manually check and confirm each replacement, as tedious as it is. ๐Ÿ˜”
