I hate to read that "one caffeine fueled weekend later ..." in a story like this.

Is a weekend the only time one is allowed to commit fundamental code changes to the project? Is a "lone cowboy" coding all alone without any consultation and coordination with the rest of the team really a good role model in any development environment?

This is just a small nitpick. The rest of the story, however, is good and educational.
