Good question.

Since we’re doing a deep dive, I’ll share some additonal context. I’m the manager of the developers. On my team, that means the call comes to me first.

I have had Thursday deploys that resulted in bugs discovered on Saturday. Here’s how the conversation on Saturday went:

“Thanks for letting me know. So we didn’t notice this on Friday?”

“No, it’s subtle.” Or “We noticed, but didn’t get around to letting you know until now.”

“Okay. I’ll let the team know to plan to rollback at 0900 on Monday, then we will start fixing any damage that happened on Friday, and the weekend.”
