P1 production issue: Exactly what I logged 2 months ago just written out worse
I was once on a team that would filter out staging-only bugs in bug triage meetings. The team would only ever fix a bug if it was found in production. It was exactly as foot-gun as it sounds.
Okay I think the term 'foot-gun' is supposed to evoke the image of someone loading a gun and pointing it at their own foot. I can't help trying to picture a gun thats operated by a foot. Like a mech suit with a robot leg that also fires massive tank shattering shells when you do a roundhouse kick as a human operator. Or a veteran prosthetic leg that's also a rifle when you kick it the right way.
The brain rot seeps just a little bit more every time I see the term 'foot-gun' please help.
Yeah, that's about the level of ordinance I'm talking about, just aim that gun-foot at the other gun-foot and you've got the right picture 😆
Noooo 😭
