Did that 12 page query have any automated tests?
- mgkimsal 11mo agoI doubt it was even under version control...
- forgetfreeman 11mo agoIt was absolutely under version control and there was a full test suite. The guy that wrote it is easily in the top 3 smartest human beings I've ever met and an incredibly talented developer. Unfortunately a lot of his stuff required being at the same level on the IQ bell curve, which meant it was functionally unmaintainable by anyone else. If you're familiar with the Story of Mel, it was kinda like that.
