How many of you...

...know people who release code without checking it at all? :mad: (And do not tell you do it yourself!!!)
Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
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 err is human to really mess up you need a computer

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.

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:

I'm only 1 and I don't. How many people answer "How many of you..." questions without providing a quantity?

Funny you should ask this. Recently (a friend) did a quick test and publish. It failed in production. Probably the first time in 8 years! further research, (the friend) missed the correct path for testing. Tweaked the fix, and was SO CONFIDENT it would work, they were ready to publish it. OMG! A quick break and then a decision to test it. Revealed another bug. RESET. Rescheduled. Fixed. Tested. Published. All was good. Then a funny thing happened. The friend (who is me) got really sick and was out of it for 2 days. (I literally stayed in bed and recovered) But I realized I was really really overworked, and had started making some questionable decisions as I got ill. I did not have my normal energy in approaching things. I am coming clean on this, as I did with my team, because it is important to pay attention to our health, and our schedules. I was NOT taking the time off that I DEMAND my team take off (we don't work weekends, or long long hours. At least not regularly. Maybe once a year!) We are bags of chemistry. When that gets out of whack, we are much more susceptible to stupid mistakes. The moral: Don't just kill the person who made a mistake. Focus on a culture to find the why, and HELP MAKE SURE it does not happen again!!! Being rushed, and not being 100% A terrible combination!
