The Grammar Of Production Failures

Grammar lessons were never this practical in school. This chart perfectly captures the inevitable relationship between developers and production environments - a timeline of chaos told through English tenses.

The brutal honesty here is what gets me. "I break prod every Friday" isn't a possibility - it's a simple present fact of life. And that perfect continuous future tense? Chef's kiss. Nothing quite captures the existential dread of knowing you'll have been breaking prod for two hours by the time your boss discovers it.

The cat's worried expressions gradually intensifying across the grid is the silent scream of every developer who's ever frantically searched Stack Overflow while production burns.
