jon's most popular addition to the code base of YTMND was the sole cause of the great login famine of 2005, which caused users to be logged out every time they closed their browser. this a little story niggas / all about hoowwwwww / max's cvs repository / got flipped upside down

  1. max asked for an admin control panel, tied to the existing ytmnd user accounts
  2. jon designed it and began to make changes to the database but wrote very little code (see 4)
  3. jon's change to the meaning of user status levels in the database was essentially ignored
  4. jon was never provided with a working staging site to test his own code; the code went untested
  5. the bug actually re-appeared much after the first commit (it was originally fixed during development) likely because of a revert
  6. max finally read the cvs diff on that commit, after a month or two

there is still no staging server or admin control panel to speak of.
