Dealing with It

So today wasn't great at work. It could have been worse, I guess (of course could have been a lot better). Of course the concern was the failed deployment last night (especially being the second in a row). So we're on the verge of getting a bad reputation as a shitty team (and me a shitty developer). I diagnosed the problem last night and it was kinda dumb 'cuz all the "errors" were from a scenario where nothing is happening. It registers that it's not supposed to do anything with this data and promptly sends back a response and is done (except it was sending back a 500, technically erroring out because the "nothing" it was sending back was in the wrong format, instead of an ok type response). But it's all about perception at this point and we're looking bad (read I'm looking bad). But at this point we're taking it as a learning experience and we came up with steps to ensure this doesn't happen again. So nothing bad-bad yet, but we're on thin ice. Of course if we fail another deployment it will be bad-bad. There you have it. On the bright side, we had free Gus's today at work. So I ate a lot. I got the 2018 Memphis Concrète t-shirts in the mail today (they're a lot like last year's...it's a good design, we'll run with it until it gets stale, and hopefully...hopefully there will be a lot more exposure this year...). What else? That's about it.
