I have been thinking about this and there are 4 messages I could receive that would illicit a similar response. I would ask if the system is down and if it is up, I have 2 people that would be forced to take the day off. Mainly because they never read any documentation throughly and can’t follow instructions.
In my last job we called that “optimizing”, after a colleague (who usually only did frontent work) used the opportunity when everyone else was on vacation to implement a few show-stopping bugs in the backend and put “optimized backend code” in the commit message. He did the same thing a few months later during the next vacation period, which really solidified the joke.
that’s exactly why we have mandatory code reviews now…
Worked with a guy that would always say I’m refactoring X and it would usually give us weird issues and bugs. So after a while the team started calling it refucktoring
“good morning, I’m about to destroy the backend” is exactly the energy I’d welcome from a colleague frankly.
I think the outage that followed as we fumbled to replace it would probably be cheaper than the ongoing maintenance after a few months
I’ve seen plenty of back ends that needed to be destroyed.
Because that’s how you get phrasing
Are we still talking about code?
Wait, you guys were talking about code?
Alternative version: … – What are your demands?
- Deploy – I demand you have a day off.
"Today"is a Friday before public holidays
December 23rd
Never trust a man deploying with a Santa hat on
Unless that man was on call and was paged because something broke.
What is this magical job where two typos land you a day off, no questions asked?
Tech CEO
A typo in software development or other shell based work could completely ass womp a system in ways that could lose a company lots of money.
Oopsies on prod systems, even with an outage window, can really fuck shit up. Seemingly small mistakes can quickly snowball into systemwide outages.
It’s wild to me how some places I’ve worked are like locked down, all the infrastructure is in terraform or whatever and can be deployed immediately… and other places are like “ssh into prod with the credentials from confluence, edit the config in vim, and paste the new code into a new file”
One of those is Amazon prior to chatgpt, the other is Amazon a few weeks back.
Not deploying the backend doesn’t make it a day off.
The coworker probably got the message right and knows about some integration problem the poster doesn’t know about.
Please take the day off !
How could this be misunderstood?
Do it and I destroy your backend.
Have you dropping tables like you’re Mankind in 1999.
Sick reference
Out of control.
Confused the “deploy to PROD” with “deploy to staging” again huh?
Oh, look at Mr Many Environments here, he’s too good to test on prod like the rest of us do.
Every groups have a “testing”. Some also have a “production”.
Well, I have 2 testings!
One short term and the other, long term.
Narrator: The deployment proved that it wasn’t a typo after all.
WhatsApp for business communications? Jesus
Whatapp is for business, and signal is for official government communication
Both are quite secure but neither of them stop an idiot on one end or the other from sharing the contents with the public.
I always find it funny how many people fail to understand the “end to end” part of end to end encryption.
If your endpoint isn’t secure then the messages aren’t.
Isn’t that true for any communications tool?
whatsapp is closed source and meta owned. i think it’s incredibly foolish to trust that it has no backdoors built in.
That’s not how encryption works. But you’re not wrong about it being owned by meta being a problem. There’s more info in a message than just the contents.
you say that but they’re already thinking a step ahead and assuming meta left a backdoor or CVE at the behest of 3-letter agencies.
What’s facebook’s business plan? Right, surveillance capitalism.
IIRC whatsapp’s automatic backups are stored in cloud and unencrypted by default. So it takes only one person in the group chat who has backups enabled (pop up reminds periodically if not) and no password is set (not required, takes effort and will to set) to leak everyone’s messages.
There’s “WhatsApp for Business” & “WhatsApp Business Solutions”.
Catch-up, grandpa!I think those are for sales, like b2c advertising. Not for how your business talks to each other internally to destroy databases.
I’m aware the technologies exist - I can’t fathom wanting my sensitive communications served by meta.
Also, grandma* - my pronouns are right there.
Hey, just so you’re aware I’m reading this in Voyager and it does not display your pronouns like the web UI does.
It shows almost nothing and definitely leads to confusion about who is talking to who :(
Wait, what confusion? I use Voyager and I have no confusion about who is whom. I can see in the lower reply box that you are balance8873@lemmy.myserv.one.
The only issue with pronouns is that people who assume default maleness should be locked up anyway, so that’s an entirely separate issue.
People who assume default maleness should be locked up anyway
Huh? What the heck did i just read?
You read your moral and intellectual superior explain reality to a bunch of morons. Don’t pull this “we speak other languages” excuse because it’s 1000% bullshit and you should be embarrassed to think it let alone say it.
People, nearly entirely men, assume maleness by default and it has nothing to do with language. It is just morons being morons. My joke about locking people up highlights your unfathomable idiocy in assuming gender when talking to others.
Context is important and voyager does not provide that. Many people respond to the wrong person in threads. For example you just replied to me about pronouns which isn’t my topic.
The pronouns thing was the main topic, son. You’re being obtuse. We can all see who we’re talking to with Voyager.
Tbf, I don’t read unames, and my app shows the pronouns in line with and the same color as the unames, so I don’t read those either.
Literally no clue who I’m even responding to right now. Doesn’t really matter who it is either, my response would be the same regardless of your race/gender/whatever else.
The one exception is whenever I see something profoundly stupid I will sometimes check the uname and go “ah yes cowbee again how predictable” but that’s just pure entertainment and learning who here not to waste energy on, most comments are just comments and don’t warrant that level of self preservation.
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml out here getting smoked on the regular 😅🤣
Works better than Teams.
Probably has better privacy and confidentiality options too.
“Alright, I need all of the leads on this call to confirm: go, or no go.”
“Go.”
“Go.”
“Let 'er rip!”
“Hold up–”
Anyone else find that praying hands emoji very condescending when used like that? I would destroy the backend DB if they tried to send me that!
I think it’s Indian English. Wild guess from the sentence structure, vocabulary used and the selected colour of the hands emoji.
They beg you like they beg god for something for free.
Namaste🙏
I worked with someone who used them as “thank you”.
it was…a challenge.
What’s wrong with that? It’s a common gesture for thanks in many places irl… that’s the first thing i think when I see that emoji, and I’m from a western culture…
In my culture it means go fuck yourself.
… what culture is that?
I think pray, because that’s what you have to type to use it.
You can also type “thanks” or “please”. Both of those show the hands together emoji.
they do now because people are using it incorrectly.
not once in my life have I groveled a “thank you” and I don’t intend to start via text.
Are people also using eggplants improperly? And, you’re proud to never have said thank you?
I don’t use eggplant as a euphemism for penis. I just say penis.
I don’t grovel like a simp. I say thank you and please like an adult, because I am an adult.
I shall inform south asian people that they are using their hands wrong.
considering I’m not in south asia, and don’t interact with anyone from south asia it’s not something that I have come across, like ever.
use it all you want though, I’ll just always remember the douche bag that used it 500 times a day and associate anyone that uses it like them to the douche bag.
thanks 🤲
Emoji aren’t strictly prescriptive with their meaning. They are generic symbols that can have many meanings in different contexts and cultures.
The name of an emoji is more a suggestion than anything else.
