Well, I just found out that the task I was looking at, which I thought was going to be a quick manual config change, has blown out to a code change touching three services, plus a data migration. So, I guess next week’s work has been sorted. 😮💨
The bad part of finding this out on a Friday afternoon is the exhaustion you feel when you consider the size of the task, and after a busy week. The good part of finding this out on a Friday afternoon is that it makes little sense starting this now, and you know you’ll have something to work on next week.
