Thank goodness the joke came with an explanation to suck the fun out of it.

I hadn't heard that story before. True or not, I'm glad it was there

I always enjoy hearing about other people's bugs. It makes my imposter syndrome recede for a few moments.

And no mention of ordering ; DROP TABLE orders;-- beers?

That joke is possibly older than SQL injection.

That’s the security testing team, not QA

One user during the night shift tested every possible key combination on the computer to see what would crash our software, so it became a race between the programmer locking the thing down and the user finding new holes. It ended when the user resorted to sitting on the keyboard and breaking the keyboard that got their bosses involved who told the user to knock it off.
