Hrricanes Lounge XLVII: The return to obeying Rhules

Dark mode isn't, for me anyway.
For me, this thread is standard white mode. I've got another thread in a different tab that's an almost shocking dark blue and bright red, lol.

(testing inserting an image)
edit: the bright red I had below is gone and that thread is back to white.

Running a production web service is hard. Thoughts and prayers to the poor bastards going through all the backups.
No offense to the guys having to implement this change but there is no way in hell this was tested much if it took them 2 days to get to this level, and still have much to fix. The roll out was very poor. The part of that, that blows me away is this site is run on ad revenue. If your run on ad revenue one would think you would be prepared to not have 30 plus hours of down time

Nothing is ever tested as much as it should be, especially backups.

It's obviously pretty indefensible from a quality perspective. I'm just sympathizing for the suckers on the front line who have to do the work.

Once, a long time ago, I deleted the entire LL Bean website from production. Waiting for those backups to restore was the longest 15 minutes of my life.

Absolutely the grunts that made the change are not at fault. The bean counter that said "it's just a little change we don't need weeks of testing" is.
