no, not again. the prod server is on fire and the ceo is blowing up my phone. i knew that last minute "quick fix" was gonna come back to haunt us. never trust your own code.

preach, automated testing exists for a reason also can we please get a root cause analysis going ASAP instead of just slapping on more band-aids

sounds like someone's having a "great" day! at least you'll get some overtime out of it 😉

what was the "quick fix" you tried? sounds like it really backfired.

who the hell approved a 'quick fix' in prod, anyway?

nah, your "quick fix" was a dumpster fire waiting to happen. you should have owned up to it instead of trying to patch it with duct tape.

quick fix, lol more like quick extinguisher for your career am i right

dude, that sucks. guess the "ship it and figure it out later" strategy didn't exactly pan out. Huh?

are you kidding me, blaming the company's problems on the ceo's phone calls? the server being on fire is not his fault, it's the actual tech issues we need to sort out.

that "quick fix" was solid, you clowns just didn't know how to deploy it properly. stop blaming others and get your shit together.

i'm shocked, SHOCKED, that "cowboy coding" still exists in 2023. the simple answer to constant burnouts like this is standardize the damn problem and write automated checks to prevent it.

how'd you even let a 'quick fix' make it to prod

dude come on, that's just an excuse. your team knew teh risks but were too busy collecting a paycheck to actually fix

who's the genius that thought that quick fix was a good idea?

i'm pretty sure the fire was just a metaphor... it's been on windows 7 for 3 years

thats bs. if the code was that shitty, you shouldve just done it right the first time instead of

for real, that last minute band-aid was such a bad idea. we're paying for it now but at least the ceo is freaking out too. next time, just slow the fuck down and do it right.

didn't someone raise a red flag about that fix in the meeting last week?

dude, wtf were you thinking with that "quick fix"? didn't you learn anything from the last time

yeah no kidding. i'm still finding bugs from 6 months ago in code we 'optimized' just to meet a deadline.

bro, that's on you. you gotta stop taking shortcuts and clean up your mess.

at least the ceo's phone is getting a workout

lmao another day, another rug. atleast you dont have to worry about that ceo's phone calls anymore

Sounds like it's time for the classic "dog ate my homework" excuse. Just tell the CEO you've unlocked a new remote work perk - firefighting!

yeah no kidding, never trust your own code... or the intern who 'refactored' it without backup

ugh how often do you gotta say i told you so?

yeah no kidding right? were you on a deadline thanks to management pressure?

your solution to reliability is to just lie to the ceo about it working?

did you actually test the changes or just cross your fingers?

at least the 'quick fix' was true to its name - it fixed the server all right, straight to the ground

same happened last week, at least we got the coffee maker fixed from the downtime

that's a load of crap. sounds like you cut corners and now you're paying for it. own your mistakes instead of blaming others.

waiting for the code-written-by-last-minute slack feedback to find the real issue behind it

that's what you get for trying to play hackerman. maybe write some actual tests next time instead of eyeballing it.

same dude, i knew it was a disaster waiting to happen. and btw, ceo is prolly gonna throw you under the bus, so keep

same, girl. i swear, i warned them about those band-aid solutions. karma's a beast, huh?

damn. sounds like a case of "should've listened to the qa team".

are you kidding me, that "quick fix" was yours

i know, right? its always the "quick fixes" that end up causing the biggest problems. i swear, the higher up you go, the less they understand how this stuff actually works.

fr, that "quick fix" was a disaster waiting to happen. and the ceo pinging you nonstop is the worst, they never want to take accountability.

wtf are you talking about? that "quick fix" was fine. You're just incompetent.

i disagree, it was a legit fix at teh time and you know as well as i do that the devs said there were no other viable

nice to know where the blame is going to land lol

damn, sounds like you're having a real "fire" of a day. at least the ceo is keeping you company, even if they're a little hot-headed. maybe you can roast some marshmallows while you figure this out.

same energy when the "experts" over here calling themselves architects and can't even sql

dude, thats not a 'quick fix', thats a hack job. we told management it was gonna take 6 months to do it rite and they said no, ship it now.

why the hell did you push that half-baked code to production in the first place? now the whole company is paying for it.

bro, what the actual fuck did you do to the prod server? how'd you let that slip through testing?

are you kidding me? that "quick fix" was a genius patch and if it wasn't for your sluggish

at least it's not a slow burn, right?

what a dumbass. that quick fix was genius, you just suck at maintaining it. get your shit together instead of blaming others.

dude, did you do code review or just wing it?

why'd you push that fix live so fast? you know it was gonna be a mess

what do you mean "never trust your own code"? that's the dumbest shit i've ever heard.

same energy, different pixy stick

damnnnn that sucks. shoulda just left it alone, huh?

aight, who's the genius that pushed that code to prod without testing it?

how do u even have the ceo's number to blow up? aside from complaining about the fix, what's the actual plan to prevent

how many times have you "quick fixed" something like that? aren't you supposed to be the expert?

that's not fair, we tested the hell out of that fix and it was solid. this is on ops, not dev.

yeah no kidding, didn't we just fix that exact issue like 3 months ago? and btw still waiting on an actual fix for the other thing that's

that "quick fix" was your call, don't play the victim.

just give the ceo a circuit board to fix it, sounds like his forte

dude, harsh. it's not like anyone intentionally sets servers on fire. let's fix the problem instead of throwing shade

fr, that's why you always test your changes. nothing good ever comes from rushing things out the

yep, told you it was a ticking time bomb. one guy says 'bandaid fix, everyone's good' and suddenly

sounds like someone's got a case of the mondays

cue the 'x has parted ways with y to pursue new opportunities' press release in 3, 2, 1...

wtf are you talking about? that "quick fix" was your idea, don't try to pin it on me.

how long was this issue gonna be "quick fix" before the prod server caught on fire?

that's a load of crap. sounds like a you problem, not a me problem. stop making excuses and fix it.

yeah no kidding, i've been saying 'don't @ me' about that patch for weeks lol

haha sounds like someone's having a monday! at least it's not just your code that's on fire 🔥 guess it's a good thing the ceo is blowing up

didn't you guys have a meeting last week to discuss exactly this scenario?

preach, whoever trusts their own code at 3am without proper testing needs to take a step back.

told you so... we shoulda done the damn rewrite instead of hacking something together at the last second

this. no excuses for shoddy work. time to own up and fix it. No matter how late or messy.

dude, didn't you guys have like a week of qa on that?

dude how many times do we gotta learn this lesson? did anyone even test the patch??

just a typical tuesday

At least the "quick fix" earned its keep in therapy bills for the rest of the team.

dude, you gotta calm down. its not the end of the world.

same, man. been saying that for weeks and also. Why r we even getting paged on a sunday?

on the bright side, your CEO is getting a real life stress test on your "rush job management" skills

preach. and to be real, who still uses "quick fixes" after all these years?

fr, that's the worst. always gotta double check that "quick fix" before pushing it live. hopefully the fire doesn't spread too far, gl getting it under control.

yeah tell me about it. we should've migrated to the new hardware months ago

who signed off on that fix anyway?

wasnt this the same thing that went down two weeks ago and we were all assured the "quick fix" was fine? got any wisdom on why it's suddenly a lesson now?

come on, own up to your mistakes, blaming the code isn't gonna fix the problem

Was this the same 'quick fix' you claimed was thoroughly tested just last week?

code's about as reliable as a teenager's promise

at this point, i'm surprised the ceo even has your number.

Care to explain why a 'quick fix' was even considered a viable solution in the first place?

i know, right? i told them that was a bad idea but no one ever listens to me.

are you kidding me? that 'quick fix' was the only reason the release didn't slip another week.

what a load of crap. your "quick fix" was more like a dumpster fire.

totally agree, but can we also talk about why we're still using that outdated infrastructure? been saying it for months, we need to upgrade ASAP

classic move, ceo breathing down your neck and still no raise

fr what a mess. you'd think devs would learn after the 10th time this happens.

did you at least have backups?
