First one probably a better joke

I'm stumped, the first one is actually okay and not batsh*t crazy, including the slightly angled text on his shirt. That's a first as far as I know.

you will notice that when the backend dev implements the fix, it actually works.

The actual fix: output filter on the http-server that uses a regex to insert a script tag before </body> to add 20 click event handlers on the document root 😂

in all honesty, though, the amount of stuff you can do in nginx is pretty astounding and everyone just seems to ignore it.

Yea, nginx is magic :D

Fun story: it actually happened to me a couple of weeks ago (it was staging though, not prod). I test the fix moro thoroughly, and it still breaks. Again and again.
