Assuming green is the boss: I totally agree. If you don't proofread your texts before hitting send, that might be indicative of how you deploy things, too.

I'd love to know how the story continues - did they lose their job? - but considering the JPEG patina on this I don't think we'll ever find out.

I barely proof read anything I type on my phone, and my comment history is a testament to that. I deploy code or system changes most days, but I proof read the shit out of those on top of the QC they goes through. Any company worth anything will have a process for reviewing and approving anything being deployed, or probably destroyed for that matter.

Up until recently I worked for a company worth anything, and you would be surprised at how many major outages were caused by either skipping the process or gaps in the process.

You know that adage: "the safety rules are written in blood"? The same is true for change processes, just with a cost measured in dollars instead of human injury/worse.

Or sometimes there are just multiple failures. That's what I learned from reading Admiral Cloudberg about air disasters: even if you have n safety measures, there's still the chance that there'll be n+1 failures.

So we called this meeting to discuss a change in procedures. HR would like us to remind you that this is entirely unrelated to last week. Also has anyone seen Joe? We'd like him to be here for this. No reason why.

Code should ideally be going through tests before prod anyway. There should be no code changed from successful test to prod. Proofreading shouldn’t matter at that point. Just scheduling the actual deploy.

I mostly mean proof what I've written prior to having someone else test. I often will comment out lines when trying different things so I just make sure I clean up what I've done. We have a few human checks as well as some automated checks between each stage of deployment for each environment.

Yeah that’s what the MRs are supposed to be for. To catch those and proofread.

There shouldn’t be any changes at all from the last test to going to production though. Even cleaning up comments.

Normally i would disagree completely as texts have crappy input on a small screen and are meant to be fast. I have typos in mine constantly because swide input and it's obvious what the word should have been.

But yeah, an important text like this does merit at least one read through.

My texts are rubbish because, somehow, the keyboard predictions & autocorrect are worse now than 5 years ago. We have LLMs barfing out fully coherent sentences on their own, how does this even happen.

I swear to god this drives me nuts. It was fine years ago. Now it’s ass. What the fuck?

I think it has to do with the architecture. Just a wild guess, but I assume that the design is susceptible to indeterminate results based on device performance. Because it’s really fucking bad when my phone gets a little hot.

My guess is that modern phones are doing 50x more shit than they need to. So passive QoL features like autocorrect are being choked.
