Today in our "that can't be possible?" series, I got asked to update a script that extracts data from a database and drops a CSV somewhere. It already smells bad enough, but there's more.
There was no script, somebody had just dropped a CSV there once in 2014. The consumer thought they had up to date data while they were reading the same file over and over again.
For 7 years. And nobody realized.
@thibaultamartin sounds like a story for https://thedailywtf.com/ :)
@bekopharm feel free to submit it if you want to 😁
@thibaultamartin no way. Not taking credits for your story 😂
@thibaultamartin it was very fast, stable, backwards compatible, just not upgradable. 3 out of 4 ain't so bad
@thibaultamartin better late than never.
@thibaultamartin i need a follow-up of this 😱
