One of my life goals is to create a company and leave halfway through.
So, at work today I get a Jira ticket from QA about a particular bug. In this case, the uses of coupon codes in a registration were not being incremented properly. So I go into the code to try and figure out where this is supposed to happen, and why it's not.
Now, I'm not intimately familiar with every part of the code base yet. I haven't had a need to deal with coupon activations much, so I really didn't know how that worked, and it took me a bit to find the proper part of the code.
I should also note that recently (a few weeks ago?) one of the founding members of the company left, I believe he was retiring, but I don't precisely remember.
So, finding the particular section of code, I see this:
TODO: don't forget to increment the coupon activations
"d'oh"
And, of course, this isn't the first time I've come across a something that wasn't working entirely because that code just hadn't even been finished. Ah well.
