Got an email from a stakeholder about a $0 transaction for an item that was not meant to be $0. Found someone put a condition in the code to set the price to $0 if it couldn’t be queried from the database. Wut…that is…not logical 😵‍💫😵

    Curse OOP and exceptions for normalising neglecting the sad path.

    Ah yes, the good old "I don't want to implement error handling"...
    This is one of the reasons why legacy hell exists.

    It is logical. The goal of thgis change was to avoid "failed" transactions and I would guess the person decided that giving something for free is better than to have a registred bug

    @NoToJavaScript then I guess we deduct the lost revenue from that dev’s paycheck like they do in the food service industry
