Real examples here? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Friend who is not a software person sent me this tweet, which amused me as it did them. They asked if "runk" was real, which I assume not.

But what are some good examples of real ones like this? xz became famous for the hack of course, so i then read a bit about how important this compression algorithm is/was.

The first job I had out of college was doing development on the production server with this method of version control. I still have nightmares.

Lots of people still split latex documents into one section per file, because subversion used file locks and we only knew how one person could edit a file at a time.
