20+ IT workers share the strangest thing and most incompetent technological blunders they've witnessed at work: 'An outgoing software dev put an easter egg in our ERP before he left...'

It feels like the more specialized someone is at one thing, the worse they are at others, and the more educated and specialized they are, the more surprising the things they can't do will be.It's almost as if living your life with a singular drive and focus leaves you as a not-very-well-rounded individual, probably one of the reasons celebrities are being consistently picked apart in the landscape of the modern social media levels of exposure they're placed under. We're quickly reaching a point where people aren't willing to tolerate someone being prolifically talented in one area and a horrible and sorry excuse human being in all others.

Anyways, this is a weird way to introduce a post about strange things IT has witnessed, but I'm sure a lot of IT professionals will vouch for the fact that often the most "important" people they deal with are also the most clueless when it comes to technology.
