I understand this whole scenario is simplified for story's sake but,
if there's old_func and new_func, and the new_func call in the else was added that morning, why would the same error of new_func getting the wrong amount of arguments happen weeks before?
- bombcar 4y agoI suspect the new function was an attempt to fix whatever was the backend problem (because before it would work the second time, but give the correct $250).
- denton-scratch 4y agoI wondered that. I thought the bug had been around for a while; I suppose the morning checkin was a failed fix for the pre-existing bug.
- psim1 4y agoThis blogger occasionally seems to throw in stories that are made up for the sake of making a point; this is likely one of them, given the inconsistencies.
