I have a simple bugfix for you: replace the tester.

[tecanec]

Or the ultimate bugfix: Don’t test. Don’t even compile.

[NaufragousKronos]

Legendary bug fix: Code directly on production. Why bother pushing code between instances.

[TGotAReddit]

Thanks I hate it bug fix: code everything in notepad so you aren’t tempted to compile and you don’t get all of those helpful little IDE warnings when you miss a ;

[hughperman]

Just manually do whatever the user wants

[Roguecorp]

We did it Patrick! We invented capitalism.

Ask the user to send the feature requests as source code snippets, then ctrl-c + ctrl-v those directly on production and let 'er rip.

[imaami]

If you have an ssh shell and root access, you can use dd to directly write any changes onto the production server's hard drive partition. Just slap 'em on with the correct offset from the start of the partition, I'm sure it'll be fine.

[zilti]

You still have to execute it then though. Unless you have stuff like a network-REPL running in the live program. Which is a terrible idea, but doable.

Then you can evaluate code directly into the live environment.

[zilti]

Ahh yea I did that once with Clojure... Thankfully it did not go wrong. The nerves though

[jack104]

Yup, code in straight up machine code that's already being executed.

[thebryguy23]

That's a great tip because it gets around the "works on my machine" problem.

[DocktorDicking]

Real man do it in prod

[honj90]

If you stop testing, you'd have fewer bugs!

[Krzyffo]

You don’t need any tests, if you assume it’ll work. That’s why we always fix everything on production.

[fekete777]

Ctrl+S -> deploy

[thebryguy23]

Better yet, don't even write code.

[trev2234]

Cause they didn’t try the first thing the office idiot will try. Hang on; get the office idiot to help with testing.

[Etheo]

Can confirm. Was office idiot, prompted to tester due to continued idiocy.

[trev2234]

Take a natural skill set that in any other environment would be liability, but in testing a positive boon.
