I suddenly had this image of a catholic priest blessing the servers with holy water.
You would be able to figure out which ones were tainted by Hell due to them releasing smoke when in contact with the holy water.
I saw that picture! Only it was an east European Orthodox priest, I believe, but yeah, he was spraying holy water of sorts on servers
Oh, at first glance at that image, I thought it was a reference to Arthur C Clarke’s The Nine Billion Names of God [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9UQyfHxWK8 / https://pdfroom.com/books/the-nine-billion-names-of-god/avd96xR0gKD ].
My coworker is going on vacation next week. I don’t want his tickets man
Pfft, IT people push to master 16:59 on a friday before logging off and laugh about it over pints
“We need the system up over weekend!”
“No you dont.”
If you wanted the system up over weekends you’d pay us for weekends.
but also they actually don’t – especially for an internal system. How many of your colleagues are going to say “I couldn’t work over the weekend because the XYZ wasn’t up!”
Only the real sickos, and they should be ignored not celebrated.
Client-facing system, yeah I guess it’s bad, but then I question what the customers are doing on their weekends
but then I question what the customers are doing on their weekends
Plenty of reasonable online services that end-users will want to use on weekends, like online shopping, entertainment like streaming. Also payment services for businesses
And thus they should pay someone to work weekends.
Yeah but we don’t talk about that until after we get the raise.
Nope. Vacation is vacation and if something goes tits up… well, it’s my colleagues problem.
This but unironically. They reviewed my code, and I explained my open tickets to colleagues and handed it over to them before taking time off. I can’t be needed right now when I’m off
Sure until you get back and find your colleague has identified the problem as something caused by you.
And? Hopefully he could fix my mess, otherwise I’ll have to try my hand at it.
That’s it.
for that should be documentation and remembering we are not machine yet. still human
I assumed they are praying for something to go wrong while they are on vacation and it’s someone elses problem…
I’d say it depends how much you’re willing to pay me.
Nah, fuck that. No one is willing to pay enough for me to care while on my vacation .
Praise the Omnissiah! So my vacation is protected by the machine spirits 🙏
Don’t forget to refill the incense burners before you leave. Emperor protect!
This is why slrpnk went down. poVoq forgot to do the ritual offerings before they left
All must praise the 9s, for Prod is a fickle mistress, and hell hath no fury like a server scorned
praise be, praise be
