Deployment Memes

The ultimate bait-and-switch! First declares "CI/CD is a scam" to trigger every DevOps engineer on LinkedIn, then proceeds to describe... the most basic manual deployment process imaginable. What he's describing is literally the antithesis of CI/CD - spinning up EC2 instances and manually SSHing to deploy code. That's like saying "electric cars are a scam" and then revealing your amazing alternative is... walking. The cherry on top is the company name "Unemployed.ai" and the self-aware closing line. Pro tip: following this "advice" is indeed the fastest path to joining the unemployment statistics!

The eternal false confidence of local development! That blissful moment when your tests pass perfectly on your machine, and you're ready to push to production with a smug coffee sip. Then reality hits harder than a null pointer exception—the CI pipeline turns your code into a digital dumpster fire. Classic environment discrepancy nightmare. Your local setup with its special snowflake dependencies, cached artifacts, and that one weird config file you forgot to commit is NOTHING like the sterile CI environment. The face says it all—from "I'm a coding genius" to "I've made a terrible mistake" faster than you can type git revert .

The perfect metaphor for software deployment doesn't exi— That confident "Yeah, probably..." followed by a LITERAL EXPLOSION nine seconds later is the most accurate representation of production releases I've ever seen. It's that special moment when your PM asks "Is the release ready?" and you say "Sure!" while frantically trying to remember if you tested that one edge case where the user inputs their name in Klingon while standing on one foot. SpaceX rockets and software deployments share the same two possible outcomes: spectacular success or spectacular failure. There is no in-between. At least rocket scientists expect explosions occasionally - developers are just expected to cry quietly in the server room.
