They did it once by mixing meters and feets, and crashed the Mars lander.
Edit: looked it up, wasn't actually meters vs feet, but newton-seconds vs some American eagles per gun unit for force
Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)

It's guns per eagle, get it right. What would eagles per gun even be?
If a TODO passes code review, more than one person fucked up.
At my first job after university, we did releases every Friday evening. From 3-5pm, all you would see in the Slack channel was a flurry of everyone committing straight to master (with a bunch of merge conflict commits between). Oh and then we'd release. Fun times.
A free for all, late Friday deployment is baffling… We’ve got a strict window of Tuesday-Thursday for releases (unless it’s a critical issue), and a 2-3 day merge freeze to help mitigate unexpected changes.
We’ve got a relatively small team with LOTS of moving parts, so minimizing deployment issues is always top of mind.
