    In what world is a system that implodes the moment you so much as look at it, a "success story"?

    they've never actually tested the live cofig script

    It looks like the author never spell checked before deploying post.

    I would have guessed that a LineFeed conversion was in play to change the file size before the test was run.

    Let that be a lesson to you, young man. Never change anything. Anywhere. Ever. You may break something.

    I don't know, it looks to me like the article is incomplete. I think there must be one or two phrases missing before "To make matters worse...".

    It just feels weird to have someone say "I will let [him] explain:" followed by "to make matters worse", which indicates that the explanation happened but didn't lay out all the WTFery involved.

    try { Application.run(); } catch(Exception e) { Assert.fail(e.getMessage()); } // 100% coverage

    Either my coffee isn't as strong as usual, or there's something missing from this story. I can't find the promised explanation.

    I think that was sarcasm. Maybe.

    No unicorns. I am sad. And disappointed. And sad. And cofveve.

    oh, they just THOUGHT is was a success because "it passed the tests"...but the tests were completely meaningless!

    If it implodes before it gets to prod, it's a Great Success.

    There should be an A/B test on the unicorn/non-unicorn version of the site.
