Here be Dragons
summary
A broken share-by-email-or-sms flow gets a minimal ERB patch to restore tidbit_sender interpolation and return emails, then the presenter pulls the thread into a code audit: an unused tinyurl module, HTTP calls on every request, no tests, confusing guards and validations, and a tally of 62 expletive points. The talk shows the exact bugs, the quick fix that worked, and a game‑theory argument (tit‑for‑tat) for why small cooperative choices matter long term.
