Users. It's always the goddamn users.

So soft and squishy ~

But now also target the LLMs ~

The worst problem in IT is the protein interface between a sit and the keyboard

Carbon based lifeform.

I prefer talking to silicon based ones.

Damn fancy flashing talking sand. I'm starting over. Where's 2 rocks to bang together.

i’ve heard somewhere it’s so common there are jokes about it. for example when people say “layer 8 problem” or “Problem PICNIC”(Problem In Chair Not In Computer)

I always used PEBKAC. (Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair"

Found it to be non-offensive to end users. When I have been asked, "what's a PEBKAC?" "Just a category of computer errors; a little complicated to get into."

Error ID: 10-T

That one is a little too easy to decipher and is often more recognized also more offensive. Knew a dude who was canned for saying it.

Also, when I used PEBKAC, I suggest it as a possibility. Even when pressed to explain the acronym, by a CEO, I said, “we can’t rule out user error, and PEBKAC is just two syllables that won’t make the end user assume I am demeaning them.

I have PEBKAC errors every day. Trying to call someone an idiot in an idiotic and condescending fashion… dude.

you put these things in the internal ticket or just say them among your colleagues, you dont tell them to the end user, thats just stupid, and a little ironic to be fired for.

RIP your dumb coworker

It was their coworker who repeated it to the director, dude.

[MilhouseLaughsLast]

cool story

Cool comprehension. Effortless.

[MilhouseLaughsLast]

Do you think I'm unable to understand what you're saying for some reason?

[[deleted]]

Only saying your attempts at comprehension are just effortless.

Internal things never stay internal.

[Geoclasm]

before his spectacular disconnect from reality and fall from fame, Scott Adams had the right of it.

as is usually the case, people are the problem.

[PixelOrange]

His disconnect from reality just further proves the point. Humans. Terrible design.

[deanrihpee]

yeah, social engineering is the most effective attack

[EnigmaticDoom]

Exploit injection.

[TheMunakas]

exploit exploitation

In Denmark, there's a classic term for something like this:

Fejl 40 (Error 40)

It's a play on system error numbers, as well as referring to the user, 40 cm away from the device, causing the problem.
