How to write a complex reporting system in a maintainable way AND have debugging capabilities on the production site?

In environments like the one you describe you have to mirror the production environment on a server that can be debugged until you get the code base refactored and supported with test cases.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
