    Damn that's shitty

    Well hopefully they keep to their word and leave you alone until Oct

    Just make yourself unavailable and be like "I wasn't aware I'd be on call since I was advised not until Oct"

    Be sure to suggest to management that the company should consider producing software that doesn't need 24/7 babysitting.

    its fuckin dumb because anytime i triage something its a web service problem that I have to escalate to that team anyways

    if I had to make a code change to fix something broken on my platform, my hands would be tied. takes 3+ days to publish an app update on the google store

    Thankfully we don't have an on-call rotation (fingers crossed it stays that way) but a buddy of mine is the sole developer supporting our API gateway, and the listed point of contact if something goes wrong.

    Almost anything that would go wrong will be an error that he's proxying from other system, so all he can ever really do is say "go talk to so-and-so".

    I say "don't write code that breaks" a bit facetiously, but setting that as a sincere goal is really the only viable production support strategy. Everything else is just band aids over disappointment.

    What was the dumbest reason you've ever been to one?

    I'll go, some genius at a plant I worked at decided to put super glue in the microwave to "soften it up" after it solidified... exploded on his face as soon as he grabbed it all the degree burns went to the hospital the whole 9 yards

    Guy I work is coming over for a little bbq action Sunday. He’s a celiac. Trying to be decent and have some sides for him. This is more complicated than expected.
