In real life you'll ask them why there's a bug on production - and he'll tell you wait 5 minutes I'm checking/reproducing the issue. It's very rare that you'll have to get an answer immediately - this isn't emergency medicine. We're only programmers.
- MisterBastahrd 5y agoIn real life there's still going to be pressure to come up with an answer regardless of how long that takes and how distasteful it might be. What I don't need is for someone who is completely risk and pressure-averse to have a meltdown because they feel that the answer to the question I ask is going to be unsatisfactory. I want to know what the correct assessment of the situation is so that I can make an informed decision going forward, not some glossed over bullshit that turns into a bigger problem down the road. People like that are their own worst enemies.

You're looking for a fix, not an answer. And it takes time, a bug fix for a non trivial production system is almost always 10+ minutes unless it's some silly html/css bug.
