I just spent 2 hours trying to figure out why fail2ban didn’t increment the ban count.

 bantime.rndtime      =
 bantime.maxtime      =
 bantime.factor       = 1

After I found that I seriously considered becoming a goose farmer.

    One time I was trying to figure out why the MySQL command wasn’t connecting.

    mysql -h127.0.0.1 -p6033

    Eventually ended up having four different people help me in a huddle. After two hours we figured it out… it turns out the argument is -P for port.

    I wasted several thousand dollars of company time with a casing issue 🥴

      My team once spent an entire afternoon trying to figure out why an API call was returning either incorrect data, or just no data at all.

      Basically we were in the middle of migrating the API call from one API to another and we didn’t update the URL in the variable, so it was still hitting the old API 🙃
