Thank you for your honest thoughts, I respect that. I've updated the article to reflect the comments that yourself and many others have made, and you're right to call me out on it.

You are right that I've failed to justify my testing, other than stating that it was used in prod for 6 months, and in hindsight this was a mistake. I'll amend the article to reflect this, naturally it will be of limited use without reproducible code snippets, but it will at least complete the story.

As for polishing, I'd spent around 18 hours writing this article, with 4 full cleanups. I had considered putting a job out on fiverr to perfect the grammar, but that felt wrong.
