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.
I’m at one of the latter, so I feel this in my bones. I’ve watched what should have been an innocent config change snowball into a pair of VM clusters shitting back and forth for 2 hours. Implemented strict change control that day. Kind of a pain, but the team learned a lot that day!
Day off while they prepare to fire you, maybe
tbf this was a pretty big typo if anything deserves a day off its this
Do it and I destroy your backend.
Have you dropping tables like you’re Mankind in 1999.
Narrator: The deployment proved that it wasn’t a typo after all.

I’ll remember to keep that for the first nice day in Spring.
WhatsApp for business communications? Jesus
There’s “WhatsApp for Business” & “WhatsApp Business Solutions”.
Catch-up, grandpa!I’m aware the technologies exist - I can’t fathom wanting my sensitive communications served by meta.
Also, grandma* - my pronouns are right there.
I think those are for sales, like b2c advertising. Not for how your business talks to each other internally to destroy databases.
"Today"is a Friday before public holidays
“Alright, I need all of the leads on this call to confirm: go, or no go.”
“Go.”
“Go.”
“Let 'er rip!”
“Hold up–”

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.
