*taptaptap* Is this thing on?

So (if you're volunteering - or have been volunteering - for Dreamwidth), what are you most proud of doing? Most embarassed? (If you're comfortable answering that, otherwise ignore.)

Is there something someone else did that you think deserves praise?

I'm still a little shamefaced over all of the things I broke when I did the conversion to object-oriented statusvis and journaltype methods. :)

Honestly? It's part of the reviewer's job to catch those, so I feel like that was equally my fail.

This is why our "I broke the site" vgift is going to be a heart in two pieces (like a locket), with "I THE" on one side and "BROKE SITE" on the other, one to the coder, one to the reviewer. ;)

That is the best idea I have ever heard. <3

And we have to come up with something to give people once they collect a certain number of them. *G*

FreeBSD uses "Pointy hat to $username" in log entries to mean "$username broke something and made this change necessary". (Often seen as "Pointy hat to me".) Perhaps DW could issue pointy hats? :-)

If that makes you feel any better, I broke something on LJ. :-) (Ask janinedog.)

Do share!

Translators wouldn't see some changes to the FAQ text in the translation interface, even though all changes were visible in the FAQ browsing page.

My proudest moment so far has been fixing the bug that broke the tag display in the entry preview. That was something that had been bugging for me for years, and now it's fixed on both DW & LJ!

I'm proud of my two tiny patches, and I'm proud of having got all those suggestions from suggestions onto the wiki, and I'm proud of having customised my style successfully and met so many new people.

At the moment I am most embarrassed about my mistake this morning where I posted a comment from the wrong account, but I'm trying to forget about that. I am looking forward to the linked accounts thing, which will hopefully prevent mistakes like that.

I'm embarrassed about not doing more coding after I'd intended to, and about the time when I failed to check the patchfile before uploading it, so it had a load of other junk in as well.
