Poisoned Candy and Bright Shiny Objects

Heard a great line on Dot Net Rocks.

The guest compared the connection objects in Visual Studio to Poisoned Candy.
They work great in development. That is the candy part.

But when he went to deploy his SQL Server project they did not exist, hence the poisoned part.

This sort of problem is a classic 'you do not know what you do not know'.
What will save you here is testing combined with frequent releases.

How does this relate to Bright Shiny Objects? It has been my experience that Bright Shiny Objects have a lot of Poisoned Candy in them.
