Reading posts like this one, I am very glad that I work at a place where we have 1) an engineer on-call rotation for every discipline - no database engineer has to troubleshoot a broken CSS rule 2) on-call engineers get paid a big chunk of change, and even more on holidays 3) all the on-call engineers are much smarter than I am (a little harder to replicate this one, unless you're dumb like me) I honestly kind of forget that it even exists because it runs so smoothly. Good opportunity for me to get some perspective and be grateful! Edit: since someone asked, here are some other cool things that my engineering org does so smoothly that I forget they exist - Very very good automated build monitoring: when you push code for review / to internal / to prod, you know what happens to it as it happens. - Business tech is something I've literally never had to think about for more than eight seconds – laptop, idm, badge, slack, outlook, etc has worked absolutely perfectly the entire time I've been here (except, weirdly, this one meeting room that refuses to stay reserved.) - Testing: we have a ridiculously competent QA apparatus. Our product is used by customers with extremely stringent UI requirements, and so regression testing is mission-critical, even for tiny UI bugs. Every team has a QA, but we also have a QA Architect position who helps guide org-wide decisions. Generally, QAs are also very respected and treated as peer engineers by feature developers, and I think it shows. I work at a big SaaS company, and there are entire teams of people devoted to developer tools, so this stuff is all """basic""", I would argue; but man, it's easy to forget how much human effort has to go into making it basic, and how often we fuck up the "easy" stuff.
