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. 🤔

Wow, the daily WTF is still running? That's the biggest wtf for me. I was reading it near 2 decades ago.

I have a pair of "WTF" coffee mugs I got from them probably 15 years ago, and still use regularly. Amazingly, for being free promo items, they are still in virtually perfect condition!

EDIT: it's this bad boy right here: https://thedailywtf.com/articles/announcement-get-the-mug

I didn't realise they'd been around so long. An programmer mentioned the website on one of my podcasts as being a good example of learning from others' mistakes.

The RSS feed is very good, too. You get everything you need just from the description.
