How 2018 brings an aww bug.

At my company, we've a reporting application. Which kind of provides analysis of client's weekly business. When you open the application it shows their business trend starting from Sunday to day of week.

As usual their is an endpoint to get the data basis on start date. As soon as date changed to 1st Jan, it stopped showing data. Given that it was a long weekend, no one was available from the tech. Support team got tremendous amount of tickets for this. Later on Tuesday while debugging we got to know while forming the date in the application the logic was like this

- get current year
- get the date and month on start of week

Combine these 2 and request the data. All the time it was fetching data starting from 31 Dec 2018.

😒😒😒

Ok, so one of the oldest guy is leaving from my company (on a good note) and he was involved in multiple things in our organization. From having access to almost everything (AWS, Github and owning multiple projects and our legacy code). I am supposed to take KTof one project and man THE CODE IS MESS. YOU DONT PUT A RANDOM NUMBER WHILE CALLING A FUNCTION. You are supposed to define a constant and use that. I've told my manager that I need at least 1 week just to improve logging.

Microservices -

But dude it doesn't fall in my service's domain, you should be taking care of this.

What makes you think it lies under mine?

Linux != Unix

So a Buggy production code caused data discrepency. This is fixed, and now the only task left is cleaning up the data, and this will be in my backlog forever.

So we're using Jira Wiki for all the documentation related work. It's hell rich with features as they describe. But for me easiest way is to write doc on markdown and then copy paste on Wiki. Highlights code, format tables and aligns paras perfectly.

Just discussing with my office colleague, that there should be one same rant feed for doctors.

Then I realize they are doctors and they can't built one themself, and their handwriting sucks

I'm friendly by nature.

I once asked one of my colleague for code related help. He was generous enough to commit it directly into the repo, only I'm supposed to handle.

It's been six month, and there is nothing I hate even more.

It always works fine on Dev stage, not after that, never after that.
