I'm preparing a major deployment & what do I see?

SOMEONE MANUALLY EDITED PROD AGAIN

IMO they deserve to be hit on their hands with a stick every time they even think of fucking with it.

Do you see some nice git diff or smth while deploying? Or how did you find out?

Oh hey, I remember you.
You helped unfuck my repo once!

But yeah, idiots.

@retoor Well we have various branches for various deployment targets. While the dev side uses git , the production platform has it's own inbuilt editor that any idiot can touch ( since our customers never care to manage permissions properly ) so the commits I found fucking with the codebase on a specific target branch are authored by the app that syncs the changes from git to the platform. So I usually don't know who did it , just what they did if I'm lucky.

@Ranchonyx I did? O.O

Haven't done anything on my personal GitHub in a long time ..

Not that I can remember what I did yesterday.

Sounds like me playing with Terraform tbh.

@ElectroArchiver Oh, it's been years already, so yeah, fair.

Horrible. Sounds like it's time to have a "Team Rules"-talk.

Make it a rule that in editing prod manually is banned except for in rare extreme exceptions. Ensure that in order to be allowed to manually edit you must do something noticeable like post to a slack-channel named emergency-edits and say what you did. That'll at least alert all other devs something has been changed. And it'll keep people from doing it unnecessarily just cause they think "it's no big deal"

@ElectroArchiver wow, you've listed 300+ repositories. I thought I was wild

@Ranchonyx Ahhhh

Years, .. what have I done with my time ..

@jiraTicket We already told them multiple times. It's our customer's staff that's the problem , apparently the marketing team gave access to an external contractor .. genius.

@retoor Lol, didn't even realize

@ElectroArchiver making repositories more professional is a really rare but good hobby. Much people hate it so much that you'll be an angel in their eyes. It's amazing how you can do that with repositories regarding so many different technologies. I recently see some improvement in writing docs but I'll understand I will never be good at it. It's a serius skill. I have a friend that can't do much, but he can talk and can document in a way like it looks he understands with lands him much success finding opertunities.

My github actually would scare certain employers away. Professionally I mostly do python and that's nothing compared to my github stuff. They would think I'm a different type of programmer which I'm secretly am - I just can't find a job for such programming, nobody does that anymore. Everyone steals from others. I like low level desktop apps. Cli, backend

@ElectroArchiver "It's our customer's staff that's the problem , apparently the marketing team gave access to an external contractor"

Oh, damn. Dealing with 3rd parties (or... if a 3rd party hires a contractor... that's even further out 🤣) is the worst - everyone is unsure of who is allowed to lay down the law for them.
