I think you have to be more careful, for once, as @justinw pointed out, rolling back is just not an option on the blockchain. On the other side, if you ran such a firm for such a long time, you should know that you're never able to catch 100% of the bugs before you deploy it in practice, the most important thing, though, is to make sure you don't make the same mistake twice and be prepared for the future for those tests.
As you pointed out in your comment and as Steemit pointed out in their post, in terms of re-indexing after a failure they should've been more prepared and should've had more recent backups on their hand to be able to react more quickly.
Similarly, as also Steemit wrote, the environment on the test servers should map more closely the production environment.
I do agree on the Steemit updates though, as the flagship of the Steem apps there should be more focus on its development. Currently they have their devs working on communities which is probably why they don't have any free hand for the Steemit main page.
Unfortunately, most of these things should've happened already years ago, but because a certain CEO spent more time with his hair than with his leadership nothing got done.
This year I'm more positive since Steemit Inc seems finally to be learning from the mistakes and are trying strongly to do a better job, include the community and communicate.
You are delegating to a downvotebot which downvotes me for nothing! Thats why i have to downvote your comments! Best regards!
I delegate my steempower over dlease.io. Just downvoting my comment to revenge yourself against this downvote bot without considering the quality of my comment, without mentioning who this downvotebot is and without trying to contact me first is a pretty slick move. I hope you continue like this, we need more of this on this platform.
Yep-we need definitly more of that ones who lease their SP to downvote bots for something like 19% via dlease, hope also you continue like this, we need more of this on this plattform.
And he still didn't tell me who this alleged downvote bot is =D
Should know who you are delegating to, i am not your nanny.
Didn't even know how terrible downvote bots are, they must be making a lot of money on this platform nowadays.
It is pretty simple-You delegate SP for something like 19% return of your invest to a downvote bot. This bot steals a -small- part of my rewards. So you get -small- downvotes from me. Pretty simple. Best regards.
