gollark: When I work on potatOS, I deploy at any time and all computers update within 5 minutes or so. There's no testing so if I make a mistake which breaks it badly enough that it stops updating I have to fix it very fast. It's called "extreme programming".
gollark: "I was going to delete this user, but I forgot, and I'm actually on holiday tomorrow, so I'll do it next month."
gollark: "We'd like to delete this user, but our policy says that we can't deploy except on Fridays, and we have to run this one line of SQL to delete them through our change request process. We should be done by next year."
