Nothing Like Getting Blindsided on a Problem
Today I was trying to make headway on a problem I was struggling with and got word from the users that there was a data error in the web app I inherited - in production. Not good.
The problem was that they believed that the data they were seeing was not correct, and while I had changed a lot in the code, I hadn't changed that. Assuming they were right, it would mean that the code has been wrong for 9 months! Yikes.
Nothing like getting blasted from something you never expected.
I started digging into the code (no comments, of course) and realized what I thought was the problem. I spent the afternoon putting in a fix for this problem, and got it running before the end of the day. Unfortunately, there's not enough time to really check what it's doing, so I'll have to check it tomorrow.
I sure hope this works.
