Context: "Power Rangers" premiered exactly 30 years ago today (August 28, 1993). Here's my DevOps video shitpost tribute.

Transcript:

["PagerDuty" incoming call on phone]
Amelia (Pink Ranger, Oncall): [sees Crashloop monster]
Outage!
They're taking our nines!

[Crashloop monster takes their SLO and teleports away]

I'm opening an incident!

Zayon (Red Ranger, Incident Manager): Oncallers:
Single Sign-on!
Yubikey: touch!
Okta notification: approve!

[The oncallers transform into Ranger costumes]

Slack channel: create!
DevOps team ready!

`ssh devserver!`

[a mecha labelled `zord.sb.contoso.com` flies out an SSH tunnel]
[Zayon teleports into the Zord's cockpit]

tmux!
attach!
git checkout -b asdf!

[Zayon pilots the Zord through a laptop's screen into cyberspace]

I'm now inside the Monorepo!

Checking the container's commit hash...
Suspect commit range found!

git bisect!

Culprit commit found!
Not so "no-op" after all!
git revert!

[The Crashloop monster fires a volley of Merge Conflicts]

Oncall break-glass power!
[skip ci]!
git push --force!

[Zayon uses the big sword of oncall power to deal a mortal cut to the Crashloop]
Commit reverted!
[The Crashloop explodes in cyberspace, which also detonates the laptop in real life in a cloud of "Emergency Cherry-pick"]

Void Knight: [teleports in front of the oncallers]
You may have rolled back my pull request,
But I HOPE you're ready for my FIX FORWARD!

Oncallers: Hope is not a strategy!
@zhuowei Internet Citizen of the Year, right here! I was watching this and thinking I’d like to share it but the prospect of creating a description was daunting. Thank you so much for both the meme and the a11y! 🙌
@zhuowei this is amazing 🤗
@zhuowei this is too nerdy, even for Mastodon
@zhuowei This is some of your absolute best work. And you have a lot of best works.
@zhuowei exactly how I work. EXACTLY 😂
@zhuowei @castironflower this was made for you

@skinnylatte @zhuowei very much so

used to have a crush(like 10yo) on every power ranger

@zhuowei zhouwei this is too high effort for us programmers, you need to stop before you can’t be stopped
@zhuowei This is an accurate "day in the life of devops" documentary. Nailed it.
Media description: power rangers fight scene gif? Doing their thing. Captioned with incident responders work, like git bisect, ssh ing into a jumpbox, etc.
@andrew im sorry 😂
@adaweeks oh my god this went on for so much longer than I thought it would 🤣
@zhuowei Wait, this is EXACTLY how I see it!
@zhuowei @soatok absolutely lost it at `git checkout -b asdf`
@zhuowei SSH into prod???
@ultranurd No. (How would you SSH into a container, anyways?) The Red Ranger is ssh'ing into a cloud dev machine, suck as a Github Codespace (https://github.com/features/codespaces) or the Devservers that Facebook/Meta provides for their employees (https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2022/11/15/meta-developers-workflow-exploring-tools-used-to-code/).
GitHub Codespaces

GitHub Codespaces gets you up and coding faster with fully configured, secure cloud development environments native to GitHub.

@zhuowei Ohhh yeah I misread the caption. I also have a cloud desktop at work for things like this.
@zhuowei That is so stupid that it is already good again. cc @rasur
@zhuowei how tech people see themselves:
vs
how they look in reality:
