Somewhat humorous, as someone [1] (congrats /u/fossuser!) mentioned this failure scenario in the thread about Twitter being down yesterday.

"Pushing bad regex to production, chaos monkey code causing cascading network failure, etc.", in response to a comment from someone who previously worked at Cloudflare.

They mentioned it was a regular expression in the original post[0] on the day of the incident, that part isn't news (discussion here[1]).
