I really hope they don't start fixing roads during the day.. you know.. so the workers are not tired.
Or major electrical upgrades.. or phones.. or local internet backbone.. or water.. or what ever other utility that is more important to my life than github (which was down today)
How hard is it to work at night one time ??
- InclinedPlane 16y agoFor roads it's almost impossible to avoid impacting use during maintenance, the same isn't, or shouldn't, be true with software.
- LaGrange 16y agoThe big point seems to be "Many web applications, including Scout, have customers around the world. There isn’t a perfect time for a deployment." It is like a road stuck in a permanent rush hour -- if the time of repair has little effect on the users annoyance, then it's a good idea to pick the time to maximize your performance. Working at night isn't hard in the meaning "I don't know if I can pull that off," but in the "I don't know how well will I pull that off" meaning. Anyone can pull an all-nighter or two, but most people will make more errors in the night than during the day.
