"Uniqlo x Akamai sells another design of shirt in the same range which is plainly incomplete"

Imagine having to return a t-shirt because that malfunction!

— I don't understand why are you returning this, was the size wrong or you didn't like it?

— No, there is a syntax error at line 37 that makes it impossible to run, and I'm concerned people on the street may think I promote unsafe bash scripting.

Not everyone has a 6 pack sir!
ATTN, Uniqlo customer service employees: If someone tries to return a shirt claiming an error in the printed computer code, decline the request and reply, "A real script kiddie would've spotted that error before buying."
A real hacker, maybe. A script kiddie is by definition someone who wouldn't notice.

I made the slightly alarming realization yesterday that some script kiddies are old enough to have grandkids by now.
I wonder how many of them graduated to the level of hacker witches / hacker wizards, and how many of them are nothing but script grannies / script grampses even today.
Script grandkiddie?
- I am shell-shocked at the lack of quality assurance! Can you at least apply a patch?
Patch could be applied via pants.
- Sure, we distribute a patch, you hot-fix it.
The person downvoting this doesn't know how to hold an iron (presumably).
Cut & paste getting more real then!
Do you mean Kill & Yank ?
Oh the Karens these days!
Surely such a person would use the spelling k@r3n
