Running it in a test environment and then not having users test (vendor upgrade, in-house internal-facing app, or integration), and then being ordered to put it in prod, then people start mentioning the things they should’ve been mentioning all along. Can’t blame them, as our timelines are short and every department is overworked and varying degrees of being understaffed.
I still remember the one time I wrote code that worked the first try.
It was a single function of minimal complexity, but it’s literally the only time that’s happened with more than one line or conditional, so it’s special to me dammit.
