Until today, I had assumed deploying stuff to prod would NOT be one of my responsabilities in this company. Apparently that's not the case.

Had to deploy my code and pray it didn't break anything. Why is this a big deal at all?

Well you see, there is no repository. At all. No git, no svn, not even duplicate folders. No tests, no pipeline. Just a bunch of CPanels.

Had to manually copy files and folders from the development site to the production site and partially copy a database. "Just drag and drop" were the instructions I was given.

As if using CakePHP2, PHP5 and having to parse fucking Excel files wasn't bad enough, now I have to deal with one of the worst ways to deploy code.

Fuck it, I'm switching on the looking-for-job flag on linkedin.

    Take a big dildo, sprinkle some cocaine on it and as lubricant use lidocaine.

    Praying won't help, but at least you can go down with some fun.

    Tempted to say just set up a git repo and tell the other devs you’ve set it up and they’re going to have to start using it because it’s irresponsible to have no source control.

    They can either get with onboard with it or sack you. It would be a mercy from that place.

    @Demolishun I'm already overburdened with more projects than I can count on one hand and you want me to do unpaid overtime on top of that? Fuck no.
