  • Who tests the useless survey? Everyone with regression tests. Like dude, everything you talk about has been written “in blood” from years of hosting production systems. If the useless survey is needed, then write a test for it, or a testcase to manually try it. Don’t just upgrade, see that the app is up and push to prod, that’s not testing, that’s asking for trouble.


  • Okay, let’s be angry at the company and frown a lot at what happened. Gurr, bad company, evil.

    And now think of what you’d rather have - a working system, or a reason to be angry? If you have something that integrated with something else, lock it down at a specific version so you control the upgrade and know those versions work 100% of the time together. “Latest” is just asking for trouble - be it in a docker image, in dependencies or elsewhere. It’s absolutely not a “best practice” if it isn’t even a code smell or an outright bug. You could’ve had a slightly outdated version, which won’t be “exploitable” - you wouldn’t have enough time to exploit anything in that time, especially with smaller companies and obscure exploits.

    Instead of putting out the fire, you could’ve been now looking into the upgrade, seeing on UAT or Test or whatever that forms aren’t supported, chilling till they are supported or complaining that they aren’t.

    Upgrades breaking shit is like programming / devops 101, and a huge reason for technical debt in very old projects. Leaving all that to chance is just irressponsible.








  • Cats “drink” water by eating wet food mostly. Feeding them dry food in any capacity will hurt their kidneys. They aren’t used to drinking because of it and even if they do, it usually isn’t enough. Most of the materials I was given for fostering / adoption says to try to switch them to wetfood and keep them on it because of the reasons above.

    As to your question - there are freeze dried meats that can be given to them, but because of the kidneys thing, you aren’t supposed to give them more than a few cubes a day. Iirc 15 or 20?

    The cat looks that way because the kid poked it either in the whiskers, or the face at the very beginning of the vid. It’s observing to see if it’s worth relocating to avoid more contact, or if it’s better to sit where it is and not expend the precious energy it accumulated by sleeping 80% of the time

    Hey, mine did that too. Then he moved closer over the months and ended up basically next to my face. Then he looked back and expected pets. It was hilarious since he still was lying with his back turned.

    Did you get him dewormed too? It’s basically a pill and it helped my guy a little bit
