You know that moment when your joke service account name from a Friday afternoon comes back to haunt you? Yeah, someone named their production service account "Sendy McSenderson" and now it's literally printed on official USPS shipping labels going out to actual customers.

This is what happens when you think "haha, no one will ever see this internal service account name" and then your shipping integration goes live. Somewhere, a product manager is having a stroke while a developer is trying to figure out how to explain this in the post-mortem.

Pro tip: Always name your service accounts like your CEO is going to see them. Because eventually, they will. Usually right after a customer tweets about it.
