WhatsApp for business communications? Jesus
There’s “WhatsApp for Business” & “WhatsApp Business Solutions”.
Catch-up, grandpa!I’m aware the technologies exist - I can’t fathom wanting my sensitive communications served by meta.
Also, grandma* - my pronouns are right there.

Never trust a man deploying with a Santa hat on
I’m about to head out the door may as well do a quick system upgrade.
“Alright, I need all of the leads on this call to confirm: go, or no go.”
“Go.”
“Go.”
“Let 'er rip!”
“Hold up–”
I felt that in my gut.
“good morning, I’m about to destroy the backend” is exactly the energy I’d welcome from a colleague frankly.
I think the outage that followed as we fumbled to replace it would probably be cheaper than the ongoing maintenance after a few months
I’ve seen plenty of back ends that needed to be destroyed.

Are we still talking about code?
Wait, you guys were talking about code?

Amen…
Used properly, repairing pretty much anything with a sledgehammer will ensure it’ll never break again.
What is this magical job where two typos land you a day off, no questions asked?
A typo in software development or other shell based work could completely ass womp a system in ways that could lose a company lots of money.
Oopsies on prod systems, even with an outage window, can really fuck shit up. Seemingly small mistakes can quickly snowball into systemwide outages.
It’s wild to me how some places I’ve worked are like locked down, all the infrastructure is in terraform or whatever and can be deployed immediately… and other places are like “ssh into prod with the credentials from confluence, edit the config in vim, and paste the new code into a new file”
Tech CEO
Day off while they prepare to fire you, maybe
Do it and I destroy your backend.
Have you dropping tables like you’re Mankind in 1999.
Sick reference
Anyone else find that praying hands emoji very condescending when used like that? I would destroy the backend DB if they tried to send me that!
They beg you like they beg god for something for free.
Namaste🙏
I just imagined it’s like a buddhist “peace be with you” kind of thing
I worked with someone who used them as “thank you”.
it was…a challenge.
What’s wrong with that? It’s a common gesture for thanks in many places irl… that’s the first thing i think when I see that emoji, and I’m from a western culture…
I think pray, because that’s what you have to type to use it.
Narrator: The deployment proved that it wasn’t a typo after all.
Adderall
The deployment proved it wasn’t a typo adderall.
Adderall deployment proved that tit wasn’t a type after all.
Adderall (strongly typed)
I’ll remember to keep that for the first nice day in Spring.
Confused the “deploy to PROD” with “deploy to staging” again huh?
Oh, look at Mr Many Environments here, he’s too good to test on prod like the rest of us do.
Every groups have a “testing”. Some also have a “production”.
