MoneyMany of you know I live in the wonderful world of web programming. Yea, 90% or more of our (RustyBrick) monies come from building out web based applications for specific needs. Along with that comes writing software that bills, charges, refunds, etc money from users automatically.

Now, as you read this, and seeing the title of the post, you might think that RustyBrick coded something that blew up and cost someone or several hundred people $7,500,000. No, we did't. But I can point fingers and say this guy did.

And I quote:

It turns out due to my excessively fat fingers, nearly every one of our customers has been seriously over-billed in the last 12 hours.

Yea, he billed over 10,000 customers a total of $7,500,000 in 12 hours. How so. Well, I would summarize but if you read his blog post, I am sure it will be more enjoyable for you. Especially, if you are a coder.
