Rule #13: From the Employee Handbook

When writing an automated script to fix a particular problem, one must never test the scripts to make sure they work prior to going live with them. Furthermore, once the scripts have gone live, one must never double check that they are actually working as intended. Assumption is good enough, and the burden of proof consumes too much time that could be otherwise be spent jumping through a series of bureaucratic hoops and accomplishing nothing. Besides... what would one do tomorrow if the problem was solved today, before it blossomed into a full blown cluster fuck? (See Rule #4)
