So we just deployed my changes. My change was tiny, it was simply enabling logging and adding a testing endpoint for a queue. Somehow, the mother of all bugs has occured, failures everywhere. The fucking structural code didnt change! All i did was expose an endpoint to allow people to audit what was going on internally, but holy shit is my manager pissed at me right now. Jokes on him, i dont give a shit if this project explodes into flames

Ah, that lovely Indian code that my one programming instructor crowed about in the 90s. They're so efficient, he said.

That was right about the time I worked for a major appliance manufacturer that used a round logo. They wanted to open up India as a market (because Indians making $3000 a year are going to purchase $12,000 Stainless Profile side-by-sides) so they contracted an Indian company to write a worldwide database manager to replace TPS2/CICS. (Yes, I had TPS reports.) All testing went well, it went live...and went dark. Turns out they tested the database with item. Not series of items, just 1 item. When the company loaded the production data into the system, data that encompassed almost 50 years worth of stocked parts, it crashed. I have no idea why TPS2 was turned off that day, but I suspect it had something to do with complete confidence in the new system. After all, they tested it.

When I left a year later they were still finding orders stuck in queues and lost in a location charmingly called "BLAKHOLE."

Fuck you Mr. Kuhn. You were a complete idiot gushing over pajeets.

Yeah the hindus really do a good job of fucking shit up. Whats always perplexed me is how they manage to evade blame. Its blatantly obvious who fucked up, yet they lie and worm their way out of it because of idiot managers. The only thing they are good at is making up stupid bullshit and supporting eachothers lies.

That is an interesting observation. At some point, even Kost Reduced Kumar's continual fuckups has to be more expensive than just hiring an on-shore team to do it right the first time.

I guess it all stems from the transient nature of the C-level these days. C-dude saved money, got a bonus, noped the fook out, leaving the next sap to clean up.
