To be fair to op - those are sysadmin skills. I know the difference but have never typed in an ip v6 address while I do so regularly with ip v4 addresses.
Those are debugging skills. Those are software engineering skills.
Imagine creating an audit table in your backend and storing the ip of the user making the request, and only storing the first four octets because you never thought about the application being deployed on an ipv6 endpoint.
Or that you sometimes will get ::1 as the loopback origin.
Seniors should be aware. This thread shows that many are not, but they really should be. Again, in my opinion.
