I am sure we can debate all day the merits of different styles of testing, but Ryan (the blogger and co-founder, for those who don't want to read the article), really should think about adding some testing for features like this. To say things like "this [bug] was embarrassing, especially when that [user] was a potential investor" and then also make comments like "we had just redone our website, and hadn't done too much testing" or "I could have written a script for this [testing], but that itself would have taken up precious time", is, frankly, silly. I'm glad actual users were able to give you the data to debug and have a potentially mediocre experience in the mean time. If you are a start up and expect potential investors to give you their money to fund your dream a) don't come off sounding lazy about quality, and b) make a well tested, high quality product. Testing will make your product better, waste a lot less of your own time as a developer, and win you investors for your idea.
