The verbose debug flag that created a 120GB log file overnight

Turned on verbose trace logging on a microservice to track down an elusive race condition in dev.

Fixed the bug, merged the PR, but forgot to revert the log level back to warn before deploying to staging.

The service printed every single database connection, payload frame, and socket ping to disk.

Came in the next morning to an out-of-disk-space alert because the log file had swollen to 120GB overnight.

The image converter that secretly filled our disk space with 80GB of temp files

Deployed a small dynamic image optimization service to compress user uploads on the fly. The image output was working fine, but I missed a line to delete the temporary cache directory after processing.
Two days later disk space hit 100%, the Docker daemon crashed, and the entire staging server stopped accepting incoming web traffic.
