“If a developer is good, being ‘on call’ just means
having to fix other people’s problems and inconsequential stuff on Sat.” - dev on Twitter
“Fixed this for him! ‘Put your developers on call. You’ll
be surprised by how quickly they go work for someone that isn’t an #$%.’” - dev on Twitter
“If your org has change control working properly, if code
breaks, the jr sysadmin should simply roll back the update as documented.” - dev on Twitter
