That One Was On Me

I pushed code that broke the login page.

The bug crashed the site for ten minutes.

My manager called me into a quick meeting.

I said, 'That one was on me.'

Then I explained what I missed.

Here is what I missed: a null check.

I did not test the edge case.

My manager nodded and said, 'Thanks for owning it.'

That made me feel less nervous.

To stop it happening again, I will add tests first.

I will also run a peer review.

Mistakes teach better than success.
