Oh god, this. So much this. I'm dealing with it right now in a hardware migration. Local iron to AWS. There's so much magic that we can't effectively debug errors. The new system is extremely vanilla and it throws errors where you would want them to. The old system silently swallows them and creates invalid data. I'm not even talking about php or mysql. Magic is bad when it comes to replicability. I wish more people would take that into consideration when writing software. Your convenience for today is your headache for tomorrow. Be lazy. It's a good trait. But not too lazy. |
