I am taking the network down at the office on this day. I have accidentally done it before and now I know how to do it again.
This summer - GIT OUT
Oh God damn you. Have your upvote and… you know the rest…

I expected ‘git gud’
I thought this was programmer humor, not programmer horror
Another movie pitch:
Due to management decision, a code freeze has been mandated to the main branch. 50 feature branches have accumulated waiting to be merged.
Management has now finally approved to lift the code freeze - but only for 24 hours. Will the poor engineering team manage to merge all feature branches in time?
Is there a robust test suite?
Merge, test, merge, test, patch, merge, test
Only some of the new code does. Unfortunately, most of the code base is 10 years old written in the good ol’ Anarchy Driven Programming paradigm.
If by test you mean wait for customers to yell at us, it’s super robust
The test suite takes 24 hours to run fully.
Merging all the feature branches in time is easy.
Having the project compile afterwards is hard.
Very easy: merge everything, fix after the feature freeze. It’s a feature freeze, not a bugfix freeze.
Edit: wait you said code freeze, my bad. Still, merge everything. If stuff doesn’t work after the freeze, management will unfreeze for fixes. Or they freeze a non-working product. Do stupid management, get stupid results. Not on me to make idiotic processes work.
Merge/test/fix on a separate branch and then merge this into main when the freeze lifts?
rm -rf * git add -A git commit -m "oops." rm -rf .git git init git add . git commit -m "bye." git push origin main --forcerm-ing.gitisn’t gonna work cuz you’ll have to re-add the remotes.Oh good point 🤦
So maybe instead, we can clear all local + remote branches and tags, create a blank branch, delete main, rename the blank branch to main, then delete .git
Although the OP says that we can merge anything, and we might not have access to mess with branches
Or just
git push origin --force blank:mainLive your best life.
git pullblindly.
I’m not sure about the git history wipe, I can’t test it myself right now
Just test it on production, you could do it right now
Goodbye
fedecan.ca
https://www.openchaos.dev/#votes is kinda similar to, but weekly instead (voted for submissions that automatically get merged)
So every sane dev will just sit that day out, do nothing and then once it has all blown over one of them will hard reset main to right before the silly time started. Sounds like a chill time, but not a good plot for a movie imo.
IDK, that sounds like a fun twist to me
Every repo I can suddenly has a requirement for my $1k/license addon and won’t run without it.
My question would be for what time zone? That seems like an important detail
Well my pull request simplified all time zones to just UTC +8:45 so we never have to worry about it again
Sweet ninjesus, i’m having a heart attack just imagining it
So the equivalente to not wanting to make part of it and staying at home is setting repositories private a few hours before and only reopening the day after?
This feels like it needs a ‘Hunger Games’ add-on.
What does “all tech debt is legal” mean?
That accumulation of a hundred years of tech debt during that 12h window is acceptable
Good opportunity to introduce a Cobol subsystem.
I’m not understand , what it’s mean
