The post body:

[…] big refactoring project to replace the usage of double types with decimal types. Everything seemed to go well, at least until there was a network hiccup and the application couldn’t connect to the database. Let’s see if you can figure out what happened:

MessageBox.Show("Please decimal check the connection details. Also check firewall settings (port 1433) and network connectivity.");

What a clbuttic mistake.


I don’t actually get the joke with clbuttic, though. 🤔

      I didn’t realise they’d been around so long. An programmer mentioned the website on one of my podcasts as being a good example of learning from others’ mistakes.

      The RSS feed is very good, too. You get everything you need just from the description.
