BOFH: You. Wouldn't. Put. A. Test. Machine. Into. Production. Without. Telling. Us.

I worked at the IT arm of a major logistics outfit where they in the late 90es had made a proof of concept of an access system for customers, based on certificates. No concern had been given to more than one user at a time, and as tradition demanded it had been coded by two people under the influence of cold pizza, warm Coke(the drink) and coffee.

For years it ran in production and never caused trouble. As my dad used to say, many things actually go well.
