I’m operations focused (traditionally Sysadmin but I can code to a decent degree and do professionally) but I suspect we’ve all been bitten by something being inferred we didn’t expect.

YAML interpreting NO (Norway’s country code) as false being the most immediately obvious.

Bash has a lot of these kinds of issues too, I don’t remember all the rules so I quote everything to be safe and still get bitten by variable expansion sometimes.

Types that change depending on what the value is: that scares me.
