How did you colour the text to blue Paul ?

I'm not sure if you meant to respond to me or OG. But the blue text in my post is due to the "code" formatter. I pasted the clue into my response as a code block and then modified that for my post of the solution. The formatter highlights key words for whatever its default language is, C++ or C# I would imagine.
BTW, my name is Craig, not Paul.

why the heck should he go and comment someone elses code....

Why not? I have done that in the past when tasked with updating, or fixing a bug in, a project.

i mean with js and script type interpreted languages, running on a production system if you go an play with it expect the worse ! esp adding comments with characters and god knows what

But it isn't a production system per se, it's a build system, of such complexity and stupidity that it has no resilience*. And like many organisations, if Tom suddenly dies, they will be in deepest doo-doo.
*As Tom clearly shouts, "it doesn't handle comments"; so he is actually the one to blame.

I think the issue was rather if Tom had advice the other guy how things run there ..anyway... at least the guy escaped....this is what happens when software architects think of new and innovative ways to do dev ops i assume.....

It was quite clear that Tom had no intention of giving advice or helping the new hire. He was (like too many others) too full of his own importance, and unquestioned genius.
I have experienced two people who have thought themselves indispenable to the company:
Person 1 had a run in with their manager and threatened to resign, which he accepted. The manager's boss overruled him, and convinced the employee to stay. The company (and especially the team) did not benefit from working with a prima donna.
Person 2 also believed he was that important to the company. So one day he went to see his boss and said, "I want more money or I'm resigning". His boss had the good sense to accept his resignation immediately. The guy took a few months to find a new job. The company did not notice his absence.

He wasn't an architect.
Not even sure he was smart. Certainly did not appear to be experienced.
Dynamic code creation can play a part in a system but the creator must understand the complexity that it introduces and it must be resilient. And absolutely must be maintainable.
Obviously this system failed.
Additionally the way the article read dynamic code creation should have never been used in the first place.

If I were the client I would like to think my systems were a tad more robust than that - a comment breaking a system ? the system has to be the worst design I have ever come across - as soon as i hear words like genius or expert bandied about I run for the hills. If he'd spoken to me like that I'd have decked him.
