Back in the early 2000s (when Apple Minis were introduced) there was a rare system error that you could get that ended in a wall of script/code. What has stuck with me to this day was the screen ended on the line "panic: we are hanging here".

Never did puzzle that out.

Panic is a function Unix (or Linux?) kernel calls when it can't handle an error

Afaik it's the "bsod" of *nix systems

So the apple devs apparently also use "we are here 123", "reached x", "lol", "lmao" and "penislol" as break points, just in production lol

I'm a little sad some of those didn't manage to slip through and make it out of prod lol
