Time To Push To Production

1 day ago 176.2K views 0 shares

Ah yes, the sacred Friday afternoon ritual: deploying to production right before the weekend when you should be mentally checked out. Nothing says "I live dangerously" quite like pushing untested code at 4:45 PM on a Friday and then casually strolling out the door. The blurred chaos in the background? That's literally your weekend plans disintegrating as the deployment script runs. Your phone's about to be your worst enemy for the next 48 hours, but hey, at least you'll have an exciting story for Monday's standup about how you spent Saturday debugging in your pajamas.

Top Programming Dance

Because OBVIOUSLY the best way to handle a major Elasticsearch migration is through the power of interpretive dance! Nothing says "professional DevOps strategy" quite like busting out TikTok choreography while your production cluster is screaming in agony. The sheer desperation of suggesting dance moves as a solution to migrating from Elasticsearch 5.x to 9.x is *chef's kiss* levels of absurdity. Like yeah Karen, let me just hit the Renegade real quick and magically all our deprecated APIs will update themselves! Breaking changes? Incompatible plugins? Data reindexing nightmares? Just vibe it out bestie! 💃

How To Impress Vibe Coders

So you're the absolute madlad who debugs directly in production? That's basically the developer equivalent of performing surgery on yourself while skydiving. No staging environment, no local testing, just raw chaos and a direct line to the database that powers your company's revenue. The "vibe coders" are absolutely shook because while they're over here running their code through three different environments and writing unit tests, you're out there cowboy coding with console.log() statements in prod at 3 PM on a Friday. It's the programming equivalent of telling people you don't use version control—technically impressive in the worst possible way. Nothing says "I live dangerously" quite like a production hotfix with zero rollback plan. Your DevOps team probably has your face on a dartboard.

You know that moment when you're casually browsing production code and stumble upon a `TODO: remove before release` comment? Yeah, that's the face of someone who just realized they shipped their technical debt to millions of users. The best part? That TODO has probably been sitting there for 6 months, survived 47 code reviews, passed all CI/CD pipelines, and nobody noticed until a customer found the debug console still logging "TESTING PAYMENT FLOW LOL" in production. The comment is now a permanent resident of your codebase, a monument to the optimism we all had during that sprint planning meeting.

Stop Doing DNS

Someone finally said it. DNS is apparently a scam perpetuated by Big Nameserver to sell more resolvers. Servers were perfectly happy being identified by raw IP addresses until sysadmins got greedy and demanded "respect" in the form of complex distributed systems that nobody understands. The argument here is that we had hosts.txt—a single file that every computer could use to map names to IPs. Simple. Elegant. Completely unscalable. But who needs the internet to grow anyway? Instead, sysadmins convinced everyone we needed this elaborate DNS infrastructure with recursive queries, authoritative nameservers, TTLs, and zone files. Now when someone asks for example.com, you get a 17-step journey through multiple servers just to return an IP address. They've been laughing at us this whole time while we troubleshoot NXDOMAIN errors at 3 AM. The three diagrams with increasing question marks perfectly sum up every developer's understanding of DNS: "I think I get it... wait, what?... I have no idea what's happening anymore."

I Learned From My Mistakes

Nothing says "I've grown as a professional" quite like casually announcing you just nuked an entire database into the void with zero recovery options. The formal, dignified tone paired with the absolute CATASTROPHE being described is *chef's kiss*. It's like announcing the Titanic sank with the same energy as reading quarterly earnings. The frog in fancy attire really captures that moment when you're trying to maintain composure while internally screaming at the digital graveyard you just created. Pro tip: This is exactly how NOT to learn from your mistakes, because without a backup, you can't even study what went wrong. You just get to sit there and contemplate your life choices while your career flashes before your eyes.

Another Day Another Outage

The perfect alibi. Your manager wants you to work, but GitHub is down, which means you literally cannot push code, pull requests are impossible, and your entire CI/CD pipeline is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. The boss storms in demanding productivity, and you just casually deflect with "Github down" like it's a get-out-of-jail-free card. Manager immediately backs off with "OH. CARRY ON." because even they know that without GitHub, the entire dev team is basically on paid vacation. It's the one excuse that requires zero explanation. No need to justify why you're not coding—everyone in tech knows that when GitHub goes down, the modern software development ecosystem grinds to a halt. You could be working on local branches, sure, but let's be real: nobody's doing that. We're all just refreshing the GitHub status page and browsing Reddit until the green checkmarks return.

We Need To Dockerize This Shit

The entire software development lifecycle summarized in three devastating stages: Birth (you write some code), "it works on my machine" (peak developer smugness featuring the world's most confident cat), and Death (when literally anyone else tries to run it). The smug cat radiating pure satisfaction is the PERFECT representation of every developer who's ever uttered those cursed words before their code spectacularly fails in production. Docker exists specifically because we couldn't stop being this cat, and honestly? Still worth it.

The #1 Programmer Excuse For Legitimately Slacking Off (2026 Edition)

The ultimate get-out-of-jail-free card for developers. When GitHub goes down, it's not just an outage—it's a company-wide productivity apocalypse wrapped in a legitimate excuse. Your manager walks by demanding results? "GitHub is down." Suddenly you're not slacking, you're a victim of circumstances. Can't push code, can't pull updates, can't even pretend to look at pull requests. It's like a snow day for programmers, except instead of building snowmen, you're browsing Reddit and calling it "waiting for critical infrastructure to recover." The beauty is in the legitimacy. You're not lying—you genuinely can't work. Well, you could work locally, but let's not get crazy here. The entire modern development workflow revolves around GitHub like planets around the sun. No version control? That's basically coding in the dark ages. Manager's instant "oh, carry on" is chef's kiss. Even they know the drill. When GitHub's down, the whole dev team enters a state of sanctioned limbo.

Un-Natural Disasters

The corporate response cycle in its purest form. Server room floods, everyone panics, forms a committee to discuss root causes, writes up a beautiful "lessons learned" document with all the right buzzwords, then promptly ignores the actual fix because... well, committees don't fix roofs, do they? Notice how "Fix roof?" is crossed out at the bottom of that email. That's not a bug, that's a feature of enterprise culture. Why solve the actual problem when you can have endless retrospectives about it instead? By the time they schedule "Server Room Flood Retrospective #4," the poor guy is literally standing in water again. The real disaster isn't the flood—it's the organizational paralysis that treats symptoms while the bucket keeps overflowing. At least the documentation is getting better though, right?

Google Drive

Using Google Drive as version control? That's like using a butter knife for surgery—technically possible, but everyone watching knows something's gone horribly wrong. The sheer horror on that face says it all. Meanwhile, Git is sitting in the corner crying, wondering where it all went wrong after decades of being the industry standard. Sure, Google Drive has "version history," but let's be real—scrolling through "Code_final_FINAL_v2_actually_final.py" isn't exactly the same as proper branching and merging. But hey, at least it's better than the person who answers "my laptop" with no backups.

When Going To Production

Oh look, it's just a casual Friday deployment with the ENTIRE COMPANY breathing down your neck like you're defusing a nuclear bomb! Nothing says "low-pressure environment" quite like having QA, the PM, the Client, Sales, AND the CEO all hovering behind you while you're trying to push to prod. The developer is sitting there like they're launching missiles instead of merging a branch, sweating bullets while everyone watches their every keystroke. One typo and it's game over for everyone's weekend plans. The tension is so thick you could cut it with a poorly written SQL query. Pro tip: next time just deploy at 3 AM when nobody's watching like a normal person!
