> Being paged out of hours is as serious as a fucking heart attack. As someone who is oncall regularly and had close ones getting heart attacks I find this offensive. But hey, at the same time I understand the need for hyperbole to grab attention, and generally I think people get offended too easily. Other than that my feelings about oncall are complicated. Most everyone hates it as engineers, but as customers we expect systems to be online all the time and recover quickly if they fail. Managed properly, oncall is a necessity for many products that doesn't need to be too disruptive.
