    WHAT?? No changes on Friday! I revert all snapshots every Friday so no one gets any big ideas while we try to figure out why we keep getting weekly data loss.

      I feel like this could be real. Imagine some guy writing a script that checks a condition and then restores a backup. This guy then leaves and somehow that condition becomes true 3 years later.

    I love configuring seemingly small things on Kubernetes (totally not an overblown, obtuse platform to host apps on) that cause my applications to raise strange errors in production. It’s great because the rest of the company is in some weird trance (omg the weekend!) and I get to try to handle resolving it completely on my own.
