Friday afternoon.
Boss: “Can we push this small fix before the weekend? It’s just a button color.”
Me: “Sure, what could possibly go wrong?”

Fast forward 20 minutes:

Whole CSS is missing
Login page is blank
Server panicked so hard it restarted itself
I’m now "that guy" who deploys on Friday

Moral of the story:
No fix is truly “small” on a Friday. :(

    @tosensei my bet is their CI/CD is fucked, or someone fucked it without deploying and OP is just the first one to clean up the mess.

    That's my guess at least

    @Waytopranav just run the repo on production and let the CI update that. So comfy.
