What a way to start my Monday... my code has caused a production issue and now I have a lot of explain to do
That's how it works. First time?
/ₛ
First time? Had this once, they made me rush something, testing environment was down too.
I warned them, they didn't care, we even had to disable the safeties that would prevent that from happening, despite it showing 2 different error messages, they just ignored it.
Usually at this point, the script would abort, but we disabled the safeties by request.....
2 weeks later, he chatted with me like, "Hey, A bunch of costumers complained, that the stuff they submitted weeks ago, wasn't transmitted at all, the insurer haven't gotten anything.
I checked the code, was ups, apparently we still had the testing environment configured.
We had a policy, that any commit that is merged, had to be checked by the team lead, apparently he didn't noticed that too.
This guy then, raged against me the entire day, I had to block this guy, to resume my work.
Of course he complained to my boss, but he didn't care.
hahahahaha what a shitfest
Sure. Order number doubled: 19818787274
Actually, the amount of billoh bucks paid by the providers in this thread is more can Racknerd, the math is not mathing.
wow made me surprised. thank you
Well, that's it then, was my first Black Friday here, was great and absolutely worth missing a bit of sleep IMHO.
THANKS-FAT32
THANKS-EMGH-AND-ALL-OTHER-BF-AMBASSADORS
Reguards
Bwhahahahaha
I screwed up once on my first paid position.. actually twice.
learned the power of save button when I lost a 5000 line procedure that was written on the server and one day electrical fluctuations or something happened and power was lost for a brief moment across. Since then, ctrl + s comes naturally to me
Ok, same procedure. Fine tuning it for client to generate quarterly statements. Working through edge cases and enhanced the proc. Towards the ebd i figured iut it is just these 10/15 edge cases were chqllwnging so ended up with a filter that would execute the proc against these... by hardcoding these... you know where this is going........
Did full test, all worked, committed my code to vss with the edge cases hardcoded... manager blindly approved it
And for 10 days all seemed fine. 11th day client is saying why are only a handful reports generated?
Fortunately I was a good guy and owed up and client was chill with that as I had managed to fine tune their reports with edge case fixes which were problems before...
Ok, all done, not as exciting, but just thought to share it.
You bet.
Feels more like a cult now.
It seems that the thread journey is really coming to an end.

Well usually it is not my fault but it is this time, it is a very simple change but then because it is one of the main core logic there's environment difference that could lead to undefined behaviour. Both automated and manual tests unable to catch it because such environment is not in our scope.
Not the biggest incident I have caused but still feels bad that I overlooked on this small issue.
Getting up on Monday is already a bad start!
The most based thread of 2024 is forever below the fold.
Simple change, that's what she said.
Even the senior dev's, didn't had the balls to touch the base code.
One change, could fuck up so many things.
FREE BUMP
I dare @FAT32 to sink the purple thread too since it has been dragging longer than it should.
This is my last comment for this lifetimethread.
Reguards!
Well I am the tech lead so even if I dont touch it I have to approve someone else's code change which I am sure I will miss it too
I would get nightmares from this.
Anyway @FAT32 can you unsink that thread plz?
Which thread? This?
Yes.
Time for the dino to roar and unsink the thread.
And all money gone also
This thread is on top again!
DONE
at this point we could just drag this thread until christmas if we want to
Then we might be able to get more views than the purple thread!
