@nixCraft it’s the law!

@nixCraft so you do not use K8s?

@nixCraft Or any other day before lots of coworkers will not be available.

E.g. during the week of U.S. Thanksgiving, only Monday and Tuesday are valid deploy days.

@nixCraft red penguin: I pushed to prod Friday 7:45PM, closed my laptop and turned off my phone.

Blue penguin: I’m the only user

@nixCraft push to main on Friday! Right @bjompen?

@nixCraft

@nixCraft Tell me you don’t have tests, and don’t use Ansible/puppet/whatever without telling me :P

@nixCraft Yesterday I had a release ready at 5pm, Friday. Just ready. Sitting in staging.

Said to user manager/tester, we’ll release on Monday. She agreed.

@nixCraft Or the day before you go on vacation!

@nixCraft too late.

@nixCraft Our plan for the rest of the day:
1. like and retoot this post.
2. yeet things right into prod.

@nixCraft yeah, better do it on the last day before your summer vacation 😄

@nixCraft@mastodon.social oops I pushed ​:blobfoxcomfycomputer:​

@nixCraft Too late!

@nixCraft how about building the package thats going to be deployed on Sunday thirty minutes before you leave on Friday?

@nixCraft it's a "civil servant" consideration, please don't be so boring

@nixCraft But its *just* one line. Approve my PR, then we can merge, deploy, and go home.

@nixCraft I literally just had to deal with this today, seriously! What happened to people observing "Read Only Fridays"?

@nixCraft Rather push an issue to production on Friday instead🎵

@nixCraft this is the way

@nixCraft a lesson so valuable that I’ve had to relearn it several times

@nixCraft Ha! Literally just did that!

@nixCraft Unless you’re going on vacation on Saturday… 🙄

@nixCraft Unless you are the one on call this weekend and you need some overtime pay! 🤣

@nixCraft But 4pm on Friday is the perfect time!

@nixCraft we started pushing early on Tuesday morning. Post weekend surge is over and dealt with. All staff is awake and ready to deal with issues that come up.

@nixCraft

@nixCraft Agreed. Sit on all your changes so you can commit just before you leave on vacation. For 4 weeks. In the Himalayas. With no internet.

@nixCraft This is how Monday Morning Mysteries happen.

@nixCraft
Look mam. I build test integration pipelines that are only really appreciated by pushing to prod on Fridays.

@nixCraft hih

@nixCraft
Right. The best day is the last working day before a looooong vacation.😇

@nixCraft
I like to cut my release candidates Friday afternoon so I can tell bizdev "sorry, it's in the pipeline but won't be QAed for release until Monday". Better for everyone.

@nixCraft Never! Unless you have brought your sleeping bag with you. Also don't forget clean 🩲 🩲 for the weekend at the office. LOL

@nixCraft @janriemer A majority of companies cannot push to production on Friday as they are far away from CI/CD/DevOps for the majority of their IT and still think in Day1/Day2.

@nixCraft

Ha ha, yes.
