Working on a new release. This release was tested locally and pronounced good. The release went to the QA environment. QA responds that a new feature is doing nothing. There are no errors reported, and work is being done on the UI, but is not get getting persisted to the database so all changes are lost when the session is lost. Do some investigating. I find that a web service had the code in two of its methods commented out. Why? No idea. No response yet from the developer who just had the two methods return a boolean denoting success while all other operations were commented out.

I need an appropriate punishment for this...

    Hah.
    Forgot to un-comment testing code?
    Or did they just not finish?

    @RexOmni, no this was code already in production that had no reason to be commented out. My code was new code that made a call to it, but there were already 100 plus calls already in place. We all assumed my feature didn't work, then realized nothing was working and found that gem.

    We had a tradition at an old job. Your first sale you had to stand out in the sidewalk with a sign saying "I made my first sale." and then someone bought you lunch. Just turn it around. :)
