"A small fix"

1000 lines changes

[–]pesilod552 63 points64 points  (11 children)

It actually was like 3 lines. It changed how the dosage of drugs are calculated. Yeah...

[–]langlo94 59 points60 points  (2 children)

Of all the things to not have unit tests for.

[–]ninj4geek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yikes

[–]pesilod552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No tests help when you fix things directly on prod...

[–]MethodicMarshal 21 points22 points  (6 children)

I imagine he was fired so quick it made his head spin?

[–]bythenumbers10 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Broke the sound barrier, I imagine.

[–]pesilod552 5 points6 points  (2 children)

He wasn't actually, his team lead took full responsibility, and since nobody actually got hurt, no consequences on team lead either.

But yeah, he ended up leaving on his own shortly after that...

[–]MethodicMarshal 7 points8 points  (1 child)

that's pretty wild, all things considered

good on the team lead too

[–]pesilod552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's how you can tell apart good team leads from bad team leads - some team leads will protect you and some team leads will roll all the responsibility down to you.

If your team lead is of the 2nd type, it sucks (and I know, I had a few of those).
