    Having rendered them inoperative, the script then uploaded the changes to the main Git repository, where they triggered the Continuous Integration server to try to test and deploy them, causing almost everything to fail and turn red

    Current status: knocking together a script containing methods like "is_****ed?" and "un****" during the lunch break from the planning session
    Oops.

                One of my specials was changing a bit field in an alarm panel without knowing that I should have interfaced with the downloader chappie so that his software matched up with mine.

                  Now I think about it, that panel got scrapped & never made it into production.

                  Used an H8 IIRC.

                    Managed to bag myself a Morrison's jam tart during a break

                      Yum

                      That's A Good Idea.

                      I may purchase some on the way home.

                      I like jam tarts.

                      I purchased 5 jam donuts last week.

                      I could only manage 3.

                      The remaining 2 were consumed the next day.

                      Even more effective than immodium.
