Thanks to a (my) mistake in a perl script, I just sent 240,000 rows of a database to one of our internal Slack channels.

As an individual message for each row.

#perl #slack #oops

@ology turns out setting someone with very minimal perl experience loose on perl scripts was a bad idea! Although fortunately these are just for alerting, so I didn't break anything critical.

I did have to mute my slack notifications though.
