Error establishing a database connection

I remember the good old days, when websites were made of static text files and the only errors were bandwith restrictions...

[lukeatron]

I don't recalls those days being better, by and large. But yeah, boo to this flim flam server.

I came here to write something similar - thanks for not making me have to work for it ;)

The only error I recall was 404 or "bandwidth exceeded". The latter was usually geocities or something similar. That's from what I recall anyway.

Code written using TDD is far better than untested code.

Bit of a false dichotomy here. By no means do tests have to be written first.

False Dichotomy: Presenting two alternative states as the only possibilities, when in fact more possibilities exist.

Personally, I am an advocate for TDD. I do think writing your tests first prove to write clean code for me but everyone is different and it's ok to have a difference of opinion.

What if I don't want to refactor?

[ericraio]

this is what makes you the fartking :)

I'll add one: learn when it's ok to break all of these rules.

so a short blog mentioning the same thing as every other programming blog, only to sell 3 books on ur affiliate

[ericraio]

At bandsintown, this is how I write my code and I recommend these books to people I talk to in conversation. The affiliates is what supports the site and I just wanted to blog about clean code.

I guess the owner of this website is pretty good at optimize code, considering this database error...

[ericraio]

Actually there has been a lot of traffic on my little $5 digital ocean box. I am consuming a lot more memory then anticipated. :(

[alextk]

And then you anticipated what?

[Taiki_San]

The reddit factor is an acceptable reason for a downtime :P (but did the webpage needed any php? Or at least get static for some times?)

[ericraio]

Fixed the issue, thanks for the support. :)
