You're obviously not working in IT ops.
Tomorrow I'm donning a black robe and walking down to the server room with a newborn lamb and a knife. The gods of the rack shall have their sacrifice and I will beg for their mercy during these two weeks.
Patches? We don't need no stinking patches!
I mean, that's only reasonable. Obviously.
I just pushed a major update to prod on my QuickBooks app. I may have made a terrible mistake.
A sysadmin has been dispatched to your location to serve justice. Please do not resist.No updates on a Friday. No updates in the week before Christmas.
These are the rules. You deserve everything that is coming.
We all know that rules are written in blood. Mostly the victim's.
Some, the offender's.
Regardless of the time of year everyone knows you don't push updates out on a Friday. If you have the same piece of code and one of them is pushed out on Wednesday and the other is pushed out on Friday, only the one pushed out on the Friday will have any bugs.
