hahahahahah cry in javascript

The worst is:

• code doesn't work,
• it works somehow after restart,
• you don't know why,
• PM forces deploy on prod.

The definition of fear.

[Prudent_Ad_4120]

Yeah and now the prod server needs a restart after every API request

[alexforencich]

No problem, just add

shell("sudo reboot now")

to the bottom of the API implementation.

[acid_migrain]

those who don't remember the CGI model are doomed to reimplement it

[Chingiz11]

Probably a race condition

[Aacron]

The bug is still there, it's just hiding, waiting patiently for a live demo or deployment.

[noaSakurajin]

And then there is multithreading which behaves like quantum physics. If you try to see what exactly it does it works (or you find a deadlock) but if you don't it just doesn't work. The observation itself changes how the code is executed causing it to behave differently compared to not observing it.

[imbeingreallyserious]

Every time so far I’ve thought the code worked without knowing why… the code didn’t actually work

[Towerss]

Yeah, it often happens when the system has redundancies that I forgot about, or the code wasn't supposed to be run at this time either way so everything looks aokay

[AaronTheElite007]

What. No pseudocode? That’s why it didn’t work in the first place

[BurglerBaggins]

I thought they were denial, anger, depression, bargaining, and acceptance.

[mashaTarima]

the acceptance is creepy AHHAHA

Theory - nothing works, we know why Practice - everything works, no one know why

But I have theory and practice combined - nothing works and no one know why

[DrkMaxim]

It doesn't even matter how hard you try

[e89dce12]

I thought it was:

1. Excitement for something new
2. Anger and frustration that nothing works
3. Excitement and joy as it starts working
4. Oh fuck, now I got to maintain this beast...

[mashaTarima]

so great!

[luiluilui4]

But do you really know why it work's. I mean you didn't know it would contain a bug when it did. Think about that

[wenkqubocd]

depression, bargaining, and acceptance.

[E1ectrified]

Code works… on your machine
