OMG those pesky YAML files! I have definitely had that happen to me before. I added a cron string to one without quotes. Took down our background workers for a few minutes. I immediately put a test in to validate that YAML file and it hasn't happened since. Plus, that test has actually caught a few errors.

I've been a professional developer for 20 years so it's not just "newbies" that do this. In fact, if you're always growing and learning then you're always a newbie at something.

Could not agree more!
