curious, what happened, and what did you learn?

if they merge something blindly, then it's really on them if it makes a mess.

If I recall correctly I sent the PR as just a way to ship a blob of code, intending to use it to demo a specific UI feature that I wanted them to look at.

Meanwhile I was tinkering with the schema in the database and messing about deep in the guts of the software. I didn't really know how to separate the two so I just shipped the whole PR thinking they would just run it on the side to demo the thing I was talking to them about.

Well they just deployed it to their production instance and fucked everything up on their end.

I recall being horrified when I was tinkering with their customer-facing instance and seeing evidence of the other work I was doing. I immediately emailed them and said whoa whoa whoa. xD

Found the email that I sent to the founder, from 2014:

>It looked like <redacted> may have got a few surprises in the code she merged from the 2.1M1br branch yesterday. I've just been committing basically all the tinkering i do to that branch, so it may have a few landmines in it.

>Hope i didn't create any headaches for anyone. Sorry!
