Real engineers force push to production at 4pm on a Friday because they don’t write bugs
- deathanatos 3y agoI know there's a giant "/s" at the end of that, but omg I am on vacation at the moment reading random HN while I wait for Rimworld to load, and this is too true. Right before I left, I was getting paged at 7pm on Friday because of a brand new service pushed. Service didn't even start at first, because its image couldn't even be fetched… on Friday. At 7p. … it's the joke hour(s) of deployments. But at the very least, as an SRE, it'd be appreciated to see at least a mad scramble to claim the page out of a feeling of embarrassment from having just paged the on-call at 7pm¹. But … no … inevitably the only people who do that are the same ones who avoid the 7p deploy… ¹… we used to have a "if you just deployed → you're now on-call for the next 15 min" automation. Miss that automation.
