lemme guess...it was PVCS. Or do you mean you promoted the wrong code?
worse than just promoted - I went to the source control guy and told him XYZ was fucked and didn't work (it was really poorly written and I'm surprised it ever worked at all - I think it might not have and just built only - it even had like embedded sql in it, but even that was wrong - tried to dynamically grab the database name and the table names from that - localization stuff - but it was implemented wrong, so it failed on deployment) and I was going to rewrite it, so can he drop it.
what I didn't clarify was that I meant "eventually drop it" when I had finished the code. well... he "trusted me" since I usually don't fuck up and just wiped it out.
so then all hell broke lose.
we have a huge demo to our board of directors, at the time there was a demo to.... a certain large telcom company, and it was all hosed.
so I had some stuff saved and we put that back in, but it was broken too - and for some reason the old several revisions back stuff didn't work either... that's where I'm confused - it didn't work on my system, worked on others. we get rid of it, bring the same stuff back, no longer works on anyone's system.
anyway, long story short, I rewrote about 20 classes in a few hours and then had lots of pressure to get it all working again. it was working late last night, and then somehow broken again this morning.
last I checked, it is working again.
futher muck.
hell, if I were in charge, I'd fire me. but I hope they don't.
