In my last job we called that “optimizing”, after a colleague (who usually only did frontent work) used the opportunity when everyone else was on vacation to implement a few show-stopping bugs in the backend and put “optimized backend code” in the commit message. He did the same thing a few months later during the next vacation period, which really solidified the joke.
that’s exactly why we have mandatory code reviews now…
Worked with a guy that would always say I’m refactoring X and it would usually give us weird issues and bugs. So after a while the team started calling it refucktoring
WhatsApp for business communications? Jesus
Works better than Teams.
Probably has better privacy and confidentiality options too.
Whatapp is for business, and signal is for official government communication
Both are quite secure but neither of them stop an idiot on one end or the other from sharing the contents with the public.
Isn’t that true for any communications tool?
whatsapp is closed source and meta owned. i think it’s incredibly foolish to trust that it has no backdoors built in.
There’s “WhatsApp for Business” & “WhatsApp Business Solutions”.
Catch-up, grandpa!I think those are for sales, like b2c advertising. Not for how your business talks to each other internally to destroy databases.
Nope, we use WhatsApp for escalation from clients when a ticket is too important to wait. Works great. Management talks to management and passes to us.
With Whatsapp for Business? Cause that’s a specific thing: https://business.whatsapp.com/
I’m aware the technologies exist - I can’t fathom wanting my sensitive communications served by meta.
Also, grandma* - my pronouns are right there.
Hey, just so you’re aware I’m reading this in Voyager and it does not display your pronouns like the web UI does.
It shows almost nothing and definitely leads to confusion about who is talking to who :(
Tbf, I don’t read unames, and my app shows the pronouns in line with and the same color as the unames, so I don’t read those either.
Literally no clue who I’m even responding to right now. Doesn’t really matter who it is either, my response would be the same regardless of your race/gender/whatever else.
The one exception is whenever I see something profoundly stupid I will sometimes check the uname and go “ah yes cowbee again how predictable” but that’s just pure entertainment and learning who here not to waste energy on, most comments are just comments and don’t warrant that level of self preservation.
"Today"is a Friday before public holidays
December 23rd
Never trust a man deploying with a Santa hat on
Unless that man was on call and was paged because something broke.
In 2028, the 23rd will be a Saturday, so that year’s 23rd is the 22nd.
I’m about to head out the door may as well do a quick system upgrade.
“good morning, I’m about to destroy the backend” is exactly the energy I’d welcome from a colleague frankly.
I think the outage that followed as we fumbled to replace it would probably be cheaper than the ongoing maintenance after a few months
I’ve seen plenty of back ends that needed to be destroyed.
Because that’s how you get phrasing
Are we still talking about code?
Wait, you guys were talking about code?
nsfw Kenneth Williams
Amen…
Used properly, repairing pretty much anything with a sledgehammer will ensure it’ll never break again.
“Alright, I need all of the leads on this call to confirm: go, or no go.”
“Go.”
“Go.”
“Let 'er rip!”
“Hold up–”
What is this magical job where two typos land you a day off, no questions asked?
Not deploying the backend doesn’t make it a day off.
The coworker probably got the message right and knows about some integration problem the poster doesn’t know about.
Please take the day off !
How could this be misunderstood?
That’s a textbook “yes, sir” situation.
tbf this was a pretty big typo if anything deserves a day off its this

A typo in software development or other shell based work could completely ass womp a system in ways that could lose a company lots of money.
Oopsies on prod systems, even with an outage window, can really fuck shit up. Seemingly small mistakes can quickly snowball into systemwide outages.
It’s wild to me how some places I’ve worked are like locked down, all the infrastructure is in terraform or whatever and can be deployed immediately… and other places are like “ssh into prod with the credentials from confluence, edit the config in vim, and paste the new code into a new file”
I’m at one of the latter, so I feel this in my bones. I’ve watched what should have been an innocent config change snowball into a pair of VM clusters shitting back and forth for 2 hours. Implemented strict change control that day. Kind of a pain, but the team learned a lot that day!
One of those is Amazon prior to chatgpt, the other is Amazon a few weeks back.
Day off while they prepare to fire you, maybe
Do it and I destroy your backend.
Have you dropping tables like you’re Mankind in 1999.
Sick reference
Out of control.
Narrator: The deployment proved that it wasn’t a typo after all.

The deployment proved it wasn’t a typo adderall.
Adderall deployment proved that tit wasn’t a type after all.

Anyone else find that praying hands emoji very condescending when used like that? I would destroy the backend DB if they tried to send me that!
They beg you like they beg god for something for free.
Namaste🙏
I worked with someone who used them as “thank you”.
it was…a challenge.
It’s the first emoji that comes to if I type tha…
So I use it like that
What’s wrong with that? It’s a common gesture for thanks in many places irl… that’s the first thing i think when I see that emoji, and I’m from a western culture…
In my culture it means go fuck yourself.
I think pray, because that’s what you have to type to use it.
You can also type “thanks” or “please”. Both of those show the hands together emoji.
I just imagined it’s like a buddhist “peace be with you” kind of thing
I felt that in my gut.
I’ll remember to keep that for the first nice day in Spring.
Confused the “deploy to PROD” with “deploy to staging” again huh?
Oh, look at Mr Many Environments here, he’s too good to test on prod like the rest of us do.
Every groups have a “testing”. Some also have a “production”.
