Shardj9267yJust spent 2 weeks figuring out a bug, then fixed it with 6 characters, such a small overlook had such massive effects
-
Shardj9267y@R1100 I'm glad it's done, butttt not happy because the issue I revealed has secretly ruined all of the data since this features launch. Some is badly wrong others not at all. So now there's a minor freakout going on. Luckily this feature isn't widely used yet. Someone is going to have to explain to clients that we've fucked up and hope none of the bad data has caused them to waste money or miss opportunities (π€let's not get sued)
Also I'm now working on a horrific scaling issue and it's so badly written that I'm getting a headache -
Shardj9267y@R1100 data isn't missing, it was just wrong. We can generate new correct data now from the original inputs. But customers have already been using the wrong data for months
To top it off, generating new data will cost thousands in processing power -
Shardj9267y@R1100 oops indeed, I'm just not sure who was to blame in the first place. Our data analysis for not confirming we had correct outputs. Or the person who made the unit tests for this module for not checking everything
Either way it isn't on my head though so I'm fine, but it still sucks -
of course it's progress, because now you at least know that you're poking around the relevant piece of code
Different error is better π
