Mind you - I have joined places that were genuinely crazy (no source control, no backups, deployment by RAID...) where some things needed fixed immediately.
That was a long time ago though.
- benji-york 6y ago> deployment by RAID I'd like to hear that story.
- arethuza 6y agoThe company supplied on-premise server 'appliances' for a particular market niche. To create a new deployment, find an existing server (usually at an existing customer), take out a mirrored RAID disk and replace it with a blank one. When mirroring complete put old one back in and take your new copy and use it in a new server for the new customer.... Repeatable build process, repeatable deployment process - who needs that when you have the power of RAID-1! <sob> Fortunately, it was a long time ago....
- ufmace 6y agoWow. That's both amazing that somebody thought to do that and it worked, and terrifying that it became the official solution for production deployments.
