1 week ago my boss forced me to ship a new feature on friday afternoon. The feature broke our application for about 2 hours. After this I bought him this cup.

    Did your boss get the message? ;)

    One of the reasons I work for myself now. Because, I have done this to myself so I would get the joke. And most of my old bosses upon receipt of such a gift would have had a long closed door talk with me over the nature of appropriate criticism. All because, you know, most of these suits can't admit a single one of their mistakes.

    Anyway, love it. Kind of need one for myself :D

    Yes he get it :) currently I'm reading "The Clean Coder" and now I'm feeling a bit ashamed because as a real professional I would not have shipped it 🙄

    Professionals wouldn't exist if no one had room for improvement, just remember this experience next time :)

    Easy to say, harder to follow but...
    If you're not confident enough in your validation process to deploy a Friday afternoon, your validation process isn't good enough :)

    I like to boast about it, but in my company we deploy in prod everyday, often multiple times a day. Nothing ever breaks !
