Exporting BSD database files over NFS and calling it a defect management system suitable for a major corporation is a bit of a stretch. (It's a custom internal tool at work and not related to GS/pA, to be clear.)- Constance Variable likes this.

Annah (maiyannah@community.highlandarrow.com)'s status on Wednesday, 29-Mar-2017 21:59:27 UTC Annah @takeshitakenji The reason I'm reorganizing the backend of postActiv is my first attempt at adding in Smarty revealed I'd need to edit basically every fucking file of 1000+ in the current implementation just to allow front-end templating. Okay, SLIGHT exagerration, but it is NOT organised at all sensibly. #ApocalypseParty likes this. -

Annah (maiyannah@community.highlandarrow.com)'s status on Wednesday, 29-Mar-2017 22:16:52 UTC Annah @takeshitakenji If they used proper OOP practices the web page itself as presented would be a singular object that you could then just replace with a templated one. Instead its the bastard child of literally every action class's additions to it and several other places as well. In conversation permalink #ApocalypseParty likes this. -

Annah (maiyannah@community.highlandarrow.com)'s status on Wednesday, 29-Mar-2017 22:20:02 UTC Annah @takeshitakenji I mean, everything else beyond those two things is child's play, its why I'm focussing on them first. In conversation permalink #ApocalypseParty likes this. -
