Had an outage where there was a critical cron job running on a guy's iMac in the office and the engineering room flooded

I once diagrammed user image infrastructure for one of the Flickr founders while standing in dog pee

Friend of mine's Etsy interview devolved into a heated argument with the cofounder about whether it was possible to build the site without transparent spacer gifs and tables

I have stayed late at the office trying to help a guy whose only skill was Dreamweaver ship a thing so he wouldn't get fired (he got fired)

There is a party where two representatives from World Baseball Classic team Venezuela (Suarez and Acuna Jr) are dancing with women, and someone from Team USA (assumed to be Judge) is standing in the corner saying "they don't know Paul Skenes was almost in the airforce"
