Week 316 Group Rant

In my first dev role I commented out the code for sending acknowledgement emails when a user placed their order, and didn't realize when I committed it. It got pushed to production and we found it a week or so later.

Was probably a factor in me getting sacked from there.

    It's not on you, you know? It's on the buffoons who let you do all this without anyone noticing and did not put any checks in place to prevent it.

    @rantsauce Oh, I agree entirely. That was ten years ago and I would never put a junior dev under my care in that sort of position where that could happen

    That seems entirely the QA team's fault. How could they have not tested such a basic functionality ? I mean, come on!

    @Sid2006 That place was too small for a QA team. I was only the second dev to join the company and it had less than 10 staff in total, most of whom were dealing with packing and processing orders
