You're Not The First

Ah, the sacred developer initiation ritual! Nothing says "you're one of us now" like that first catastrophic production push.

The poor newbie thinks they're about to be fired, but little do they know - breaking production is basically a rite of passage. It's like the developer equivalent of a hazing ceremony, except instead of beer funnels, it's frantic Slack messages and emergency hotfixes at 2AM.

The veterans aren't mad - they're proud. That dark cloud of senior devs isn't an execution squad - it's the welcoming committee! Because nothing builds character (and proper deployment procedures) quite like watching your mistake take down an entire website while customers scream.

Remember kids: in development, you haven't truly lived until you've died inside after a production disaster!
