Striking how similar the concerns are from one age to another. I've often spent a long day tracking a bug down, fixing it, and pushing it out to production, and thought, "Now I've written the whole thing: for Christ's sake give me a drink."


My first thought was that this is the middle-ages equivalent to comments I sometimes leave in code.

    /* So this is where it gets dumb. */

    // Really dumb one-time override for this asset


That's what I figured, too. No wonder this article is so appropriate for this site, it echoes the mundane pains of today's code-scribes.
