How to lose $172k per second for 45 minutes (2013)
I'm amused by the tone. It's like the author doesn't realize that 99% of software development and deployment is done like this, or much much worse. Welcome to the real world.We work in an incredibly immature industry. And trying to enforce better practices rarely works out as intended. To give one example: we rolled out mandatory code reviews on all changes. Now we have thousands of rubber-stamped "looks good to me" code reviews without any remarks.Managers care about speed of implementation, not quality. At retrospectives, I hear unironic boasts about how many bugs were solved last sprint, instead of reflection on how those bugs were introduced in the first place.
