@tiff Ohh noo! Were the programs written in Medium/Word and then just copy pasted?

@XerTheSquirrel someone pasted a blob of json to me in slack as a regular message instead of a code snippet or attachment, which I then stitched into a big kubernetes deployment yaml, and then one pod of many failed to come up

@tiff Eeek! Hopefully you were able to fix it quickly!

@XerTheSquirrel nope! At least an hour. I think I felt genuine pain once I figured it out.
