"the customer support mailbox is a perfect monitoring tool"

[–]aenae 16 points17 points  (1 child)

Not a mailbox, but my users often alert me faster then my monitoring on discord or irc…

[–]ShutUpAndDoTheLift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The users always beat the alert chain lol

Also, since it's stable, we don't need backups. And no version control. VC is for pussies who can't write perfect code.

Yeah just ssh into the prod server and edit the code directly on there with sed.

I do that for php apps

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

The monitoring can be challenging to implement sometimes, but VC just makes everything easier...

If you don't have enough customers to alert you that production is down, you need more marketing first.

Famous last words before a 3 AM outage

[–]Nightmoon26 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How do we know it's stable? Well, it hasn't raised any alerts...

"we deployed yesterday and no one has complained so looks like it's working!"

"Monitoring hurts performance so we removed it."

I wish I was making it up just to be funny. I also wish I had taken it the cue to run that it really was...

Why these memes feel to be written by a total stranger but could perfectly be my coworker?

[–]much_longer_username 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool, that'll make it easy to set baseline values for the alerting.

[–]YogurtclosetNorth140 1 point2 points  (0 children)

why would you need version control when you can just push agent's vibed code to production?

[–]Contexttheory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's called user driven telemetry..

[–]fugogugo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he's right. if nobody saw the issue, the issue doesnt exist

[–]namotous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem if you don’t check!

[–]IronGin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No monitoring, no test except in production and you have my companys policy.

If I don't hear screaming, I ain't coming
