I extracted a tangled action to its own api, and wrote a test for it.

The test failed.

I added debugging, more debugging, all the debugging. It still fails. But I can at least see why it fails!

It turns out the api finds and updates the wrong user. It finds and updates the wrong user EVEN WHEN THERE ARE NO OTHER USERS.

WHAT THE SALAMI.

Also, the user lookup it uses is extremely roundabout and takes several seconds with ~2 million users. Normally I'd fix the lookup, but it has been in production for several years, and I'm terrified it will break something if I fix it.

When the school you attended changes their name after you’ve finished attending, how do you refer to the school you attended? Asking for a friend.

It’s me. I’m asking for myself.

I'm switching from that thing that is 'almost done' to another thing that was also 'almost done' months ago... and now going to spend some hours just getting reacquainted with it.

:P
