I think they gave the job to the work-experience boy or girl. We all have to learn somewhere.

I'm always amazed at the stick AC attracts when by any objective assessment the FC website is a complete shambles.
But admittedly there's brass to be made if you're prepared to wallow in the muck

But to compensate, some of the comments are repeated over and over. I swear I even saw a loan for "Lorem Ipsum Greek Restaurant" at one point, but it could have been my eyes glazing over  longjohn I agree on your explanation on the "extreme rounding" of outstandings -- a few I checked do look off by a factor of 100. |

It looks to me like the developer(s) have introduced some sort of sql cartesian join issue as loans with 4 comments show 4 times, those with 2 show twice etc, etc. Easily done but normally spotted during the test phase of development. |

My loan comment list seems accurate today. I thought I'd engage in a bit of self-flagellation by checking up on all the defaulters and late-payers but after every 5 or 6 click-throughs I am redirected to the loan request page; perhaps FC are showing concern for my mental well-being?

...the test phase of development. Aaahhh, yes - the good old days, when we used to do code reviews, write test plans, and actually tested software before we released it.

Not working right? You're getting complaints? Well I thought it was OK. Oh, yes I see, but how am I supposed to know exactly what you wanted - not a mind reader, you know. Can't understand how that happened, though. Perhaps if we just patch it here to make it right, or good enough for now. Yes, that should do it. Try that - see how it goes. Let me know if you get any more problems.

Yeah, either a SQL cartesian product or duplicate rows in one of the tables they're joining to indicating the lack of a unique constraint.
Too many of today's web developers rely on frameworks to generate their db tables and don't lock down the data integrity at db level. Many frameworks (Groovy Grails for one) have the functionality to do this. It's just that too many devs don't bother to take the time. Too often I hear "the DB is meant to be a bucket to us". Wrong!
