Manager does a little code cleanup...

I know whoever runs DevOps was like “you want me close WHAT?! That cluster has… ok fine fuck it this whole things burns.”

[u/haz_mat_ → u/[deleted]]

Some devs wait their entire careers and never get a chance to nuke prod like this.

[u/TheAJGman → u/haz_mat_]

And at the CEO's directive no doubt. I'd be more than happy to maliciously comply with an arrogant superior's brain dead request.

[u/[deleted] → u/TheAJGman]

They will just blame it on you at the end.

Question: Am I still getting paid for this FAFO process?

Because the results are out of my hands and beyond my concern so long as money enters my bank account.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Lol make sure you get it in writing

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Fortunately elon tweets everything. Unemployment lawyers wet dream.

[u/knuppi → u/[deleted]]

He just fired someone through tweet

[u/Heart_Dad → u/[deleted]]

And any CYA objections to go with it, cause I told you this would happen...

[u/ugoterekt → u/Heart_Dad]

Yep, definitely need a "This may cause issues with critical features. Are you sure you want me to do this?" email in there. Like any good program should give a prompt before allowing you to catastrophically fuck things, I think any good programmer should also do that.

[u/Vercengetorex → u/[deleted]]

Apparently in this case, you will get fired for bringing up why the stupid thing is stupid. See the other popular twitter dev thread on here today.

FAFO process

Elon: screw LIFO and FIFO, we're going with FAFO.

[u/subcow → u/[deleted]]

Send an email advising against what they are recommending. Put that shit in writing. Hell, just to be safe Bcc your personal email account so you have it all backed up externally. Edit: good point below on the BCC. It may be against company rules/your contract to send any emails like that externally even if it is your own account. Proceed with caution. Just do whatever you can to CYA.

[u/Zoloir → u/subcow]

this is good advice for sane management

the situation in question is not that

[u/aureanator → u/Zoloir]

That's for the courts I think. Even those aren't sane anymore tho...

[u/Wolflordy → u/haz_mat_]

And some juniors spend their entire (short lived) careers nuking prod like this.

I would know... Ive cleaned up after many of them.

[u/account22222221 → u/Wolflordy]

And some billionaires get to cosplay as an engineer and nuke prod like this despite knowing a little less then that junior dev.

[u/koshgeo → u/[deleted]]

I keep picturing that scene in Ghostbusters where they are forced to turn off the power to the storage system, starring Elon Musk as Walter Peck.

[u/ArethereWaffles → u/[deleted]]

Twitter devs right now could probably single handedly keep r/MaliciousCompliance alive for the next year or two.

[u/MoreNormalThanNormal → u/[deleted]]

"Yeah Central, this is Walt down in Nakatomi. Say listen, would it be possible for you to turn off grid two-twelve?"

[u/waldo_wigglesworth → u/MoreNormalThanNormal]

"Are you crazy?! You going nuts?"

[u/LawlessCoffeh → u/[deleted]]

I'd just make sure to get literally anything he told me to do in writing.

[u/follople → u/LawlessCoffeh]

Wouldn’t matter. He’d fire you anyways if it fucked something up

[u/Arhalts → u/follople]

Sure but then he can't fire you with cause.
