"Hitting you with some real talk here. I've seen some devs get burned because they were too focused on getting the next feature out the door and missed some warning signs in their server logs. I want to share 5 red flags I've come across that can indicate major issues down the line, so devs can stay vigilant and prevent those disasters"

"just had a colleague who got pwned cuz they ignored those weird 'syn flood' alerts in their logs for weeks. glad to see this thread, hope it saves someone some headache. what's the most common red flag you guys see in your logs?"
"just had a server log issue myself a few weeks back. turns out it was a simple SQL injection attempt from a malicious IP, but if I hadn't caught it, it could've been catastrophic. lesson learned, regularly reviewing logs is key!"

"I've been there too, bro. Always keep an eye out for 404 errors coming from internal IP addresses - that's usually a sign of something fishy going on, like unauthorized access. Also, any unexpected spikes in connection attempts can be a warning sign for potential brute force attacks."
