Definition: Code Turd

// April 7th, 2006 // Fun Whatnot, My Stuff, Technology Bits

In a major enterprise system we pay a lot of money for, a recent patch threw us an error based on the following line of code in a shell script:

echo "I am what is running, this is linux" >> /home/ban7/jobsub/for_whatever_purpose.txt

This line was not conditional and was ironically being run on a Solaris system, not Linux. Our DBA Jon Graton defines these little gems of “production” code as “code turds”.

    Is it true that there are extra riding turtle codes as well as codes for other types of mounts? If so what is it that needs to be done in order to receive one of these codes? I would love to have one if possible. Thanks in advance.
