I must confess I've checked in non-compiling code once or twice... :-O And a couple of times that my checked in code didn't compile, but only because for some reason half of my code didn't get committed (like project A committed just fine, but project B didn't). And I've had a few coworkers who did that at least once a week which is very annoying. Or do you mean "release" as in a release to a customer? Because I can't imagine people not checking that :wtf:

Alright, perhaps I can imagine it. It was more like wishful thinking :-O

At one company we had automatic build that, originally, ran on all the dev environments each night. In our team we had a rule that if a build failed due to an untested checkin you bought treats - dog-nuts, cakes, etc - for those affected. One of my minions made a 'tiny tweak' to the build process itself. Next morning he came in to be confronted by 30+ failed builds... :laugh:

One arrogant prick I worked with did this. Checked in and got straight on Facebook. What a foster!

Oops! :laugh: Was his face red after that?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Surely, there's a MS joke in here somewhere.

I refuse to answer on the grounds I may incriminate myself.

Our penalty was a round of beers on friday night. It had been known that 2am was not an unreasonable time to get home after a bad week. With 6 dev, 2 QC and a PM it was a bloody expensive round. It had been known to log on to a colleagues machine and insert a divide by zero if it looked like being a dry week.

Pretty much all the time. It's the joys of PHP on a low volume website. If I break something, I've pretty much got 30 mins before anyone notices. For other languages, it the usual 'it works for me' scenario.

Release code me? NEVER! I have had team members who do this all the time. There Sh!t don't stink ya know. Never admits fault etc.... Check in code that doesn't compile. This I do alllllll the time. I leave a compile error where I was last working all the time. This helps me pick up where I left off in the code. Check in and commit code for even a dev rollout though. Nope don't do that. But then again perhaps I work differently than others. (who knew :))))

To stinking many of them. Not only not checking it, but leaving it broken for the weekend. I've had people do that when just checking in code to the repo, and that's bad enough, but I've also seen people releasing code to production without checking, and then not responding to phone calls all weekend. Bloody torture time.
