Deborah PickettCan’t believe they’re going to roll 2024 out to Production late on a Sunday, right before a public holiday, without testing it in Staging, and without fixing any of the bugs in 2023.

Deb4+ aka Deborah DT 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️@DeborahForPlus are you sure they didn't just try to roll out the same deployment a second time at some point? 🤔

Kyrielle@DeborahForPlus @futzle @duncan_blues @mike And despite all their attempts we seem to be stuck with the dang virus that managed to exploit its way in….

joël@futzle well, I guess you are the beta-testers, we get to see if any of the bugs you found still exist and the americans can enjoy 1.0

And even after the absolute shitfest of 2020 the developers still won't accept any release procedures.

Bernard Sheppard@futzle They announced the ship date, and scheduled a launch party. Its too late to delay the release now.
Expect the patch release on 2024-02-29 - never any concerns with leap year handling.
Marc Trius@futzle stable release will be in a paid dlc
Parade du Grotesque 💀I bow to your superior production-fu! 🙇
(All of this to bump the version number... Sheesh...)
Lauren Weinstein@futzle They're using the standard AI/LLM disclaimer. "Don't believe anything you see."

No different to covid and climate change - let both go and see what happens.

@futzle And 2023 still hasn't passed UAT.
Steve Bowbrick@futzle It's the same every year - It'll be fine by about April. June at the latest.

Richard Hendricks@futzle Well, it worked fine on my test with me clicking a few buttons, I'm sure it'll be ok. What's the most traffic we'll see, 100 clicks?

@futzle or fix any of the other issues reported by users since 2020 and even before that...
It's worse than #Fallout76!

The Fall of 76
@futzle I'm serious...
#Fallout76 was #ProductionReady for #CriticalInfrastructure in comparison to 2020, 2021, 2022 & 2023...
Why should 2024 be better in any shape or form when it violates EVERY SINGLE RULE of #SoftwareDevelopment and #SoftwareDeployment I know of???

Damon Kiesow@futzle @tchambers I mean, the Milennium rolled over on a Friday night and that…
Oh, actually yeah.
RodneyPetersonTalentAgencyI have it on good authority - don’t ask me how - that the board members of Earth Inc. are tired of being shown up by the employees with all the various fuckups of every single fireworks show in a presentation being set off at once and have decided to counter the demonstration by setting off the Yellowstone volcano and subsequent destruction of the planet.
San Diego Fireworks 2012, LOUD and up close
Reportedly dress rehearsals were shit and even some of the more seasoned cast members were shocked by the heretofore unprecedented and alarming nature of the script.
However, David Zaslov said matter of factly the project was already over budget and to continue on with our schedule of deliberately sabotaging the corporation for profit, as per our role model of Eddie Lampert with Sears, and to roll it out, bugs and all, and everyone else can get fucked. Elon Musk then applauded.
Chris Espinosa@futzle This is what happens when you let the experienced devs and management take the whole week after Christmas off.
Tucker Teague@futzle I've been through too many of these to be surprised anymore. We should expect a patch to be rolled out in February though.
Kevin@futzle Gonna hafta test in production
WoF@futzle What bugs? They're features!
sxpert
Denny Kozlov@futzle LOL yeah, I hate all these no opt-in/no opt-out public beta tests.
krejgo@futzle 4.5 billion years of CI should be OK... shouldn't it?
Andrew Feeney@futzle Did you intend to write a viral toot? Because that’s how you write a viral toot.
@andrewfeeney RIP my mentions
@futzle The issue was closed with the status WONTFIX.
Steve Purcell@futzle Time moves fast and breaks things
VoquiLeibbrandt pas un pseudo@futzle They tested in in Staging long ago - it was on january 6 some of these years. The bug is still on the starting line..
Estarriol, Terrorist Dragon@futzle it is not 2024, it is the 4th rebadged 2020 in a row.
Polychrome 
@futzle I was going to flag the package as frozen in my manager but since everyone else are going to let it update it'll just break support across the board when they switch to the new format.
Anthony Williams@futzle
To be fair, they might have *tried* to fix the bugs, but we won't know for sure until too late, due to the aforementioned lack of testing ;)

Andrew Jon Thomson@futzle that’s the problem is the perverse incentive that it’s always more profitable to focus on new features rather than fixing old bugs. As time progresses these old bugs multiply exponentially, buried in the system until the entire thing becomes 100% bugs & 0% features. I propose we call this phenomenon the #shittingularity.
Christof Damian 💙💛@futzle Haha they also forgot to fix that accessibility blocker for that 4.1.2 name role value criterion.

I guess certain people will get big bonuses for a timely rollout and will have moved on to other things before the whole system collapses.
The UK's 'Truss' point release was a good example.

EcosaurianClassic IT Department decision. What could possibly go wrong!
Jon Wilson@futzle We've always done phased regional rollouts, starting with Pacific islands and NZ, then working west. Never had to roll back a New Year yet.
Christian Gudrian@futzle If it compiles, ship it!

@futzle I didn't even see a postmortem, outrageous
Dianora (Diane Bruce)@futzle That's what happens when marketing controls things.
@futzle And with the constant demand for faster processing and more features, the server is heating up like a big oven.
🇨🇦 Dianne SIt compiles. So ship it!
Ben Fulton@futzle We're on a deadline. There's a schedule to meet here.
