Words You Won’t Find In The Entire Tumblr Codebase

marco:

  • Factory.

Ooh; a game.

  • Stability

:D

Factories are quite a useful tool with tests I must say. Considering how many finickity bugs do pop up on Tumblr; I could not expect there to be any tests. Granted that the major bugs seem like server load, there are so many tiny ones that I could only imagine would be bypassed by decent test coverage.

I hardly think Tumblr is the right company to preach on HOW to code, though? Especially when the server outages and bugs are getting more often and worse. If anything; you saying shows the reason to use Factories.
