Whilst I hope tumblr correct the problem rather quickly as it is a major problem, I find those jumping to blame are forgetting one small problem. No programmer is perfect, typos are easy to mistake on any keyboard and it will happen to everyone no matter how much of a ‘ninja rockstar poodle’ they think they are.
I hate to see someone else work in the clear like this. It’s like popping a zit before your first date. It’s painful and will show up for day/s afterwards. Now I know what will be today’s headline I can bypass techmeme.
Yes its a big boo boo. It’s a massive security risk and to some it may feel like the end of the world but by then it will be tomorrow. Passwords will be reset, keys will be replaced and the valley will be talking about something else. Hopefully it won’t be someone else’s mistake.
P.S Don’t forget to test your code before deploying – now you know why.
- elliottcarlson 16y agoTypos are very easy to make - but that's why you need to first test your code locally, test your code in a development environment, have others test and approve your code in a staging environment before a small typo gets to production where something like this can happen.
- joebananas 16y agoWhich is why you have test servers and never ever make live edits to deployed code. I find it exceedingly easy to say that this was kind of incompetent.
