If +Keith Cramer says I do this, he's just jealous of my wicked code structure and downright Shakespearean commenting. 😉

I don't often test my code, but when I do, I do it in production. For the Most Interesting Coder in your life (but it better not be you): http://j.mp/Q9NF8q

Yeah, and if they don't like it, tell the management types that their deadlines suck.
Nope… you aren't guilty of this…lemme see if I can quote you correctly…
"Why test it when I already know it works!"
BOOYAH! Â I love it…Â
+Keith Cramer Normally you misquote me. Not this time! 😉
Jeez I've blown up prod before. I'm much more cautious now!
Ah… the worst was back in the Windows 3.1 days. I worked at a large corporation and the users were all set up with their Windows config files stored on the network. Techs, however were still going desk to desk to push out required changes. This could take several techs an all-night shift to accomplish. For a change to the user's installed printers, I believe it was, I used a script and a search and replace utility to change all the config files in one shot. I crashed an entire engineering building's Windows and we had to do an emergency restore of all the config files. To be fair, my code was perfect. The search and replace utility however performed it's task by rewriting the original file line by line, and inserted some strange character after the "replace" that equated to an "end of file" and fubar'd the config file.
