Haha, thanks, it's not directly based on a particular bug, but the way configs are managed did push me several times to wonder "If I walk out, buy a bottle of whiskey, come back and start drinking it, will I get fired?"

To be fair, I didn't do it... yet. I have family, I need salary. -_-




I did devops at a Web 1.9 SaaS shop a couple of years back. One of the product teams asked me to host a retrospective for them one Friday afternoon. Little did I know it was a regular occurrence for them to supply the whiskey during said retrospective sessions.

Another project team leader from a company they acquired regularly paid me in bottles of whiskey when I helped his team hit integration milestones for their product, as the main dev teams weren't helping him.


When you work from home, the answer to that question is "No."
