And you're allocated the time for on-call, salaried for it, but never assigned the task to fix the damn thing. So instead, you and your team burn maybe-I-have-to-get-up-at-night-time instead of definitely-attempting-to-fix-it-time.

I strongly believe whoever is on-call should have free reign to modify anything about their ops environment. The pitch for management is that while in the short term it might take time away from project work, eventually the reduction in interruptions will result in higher productivity.

p.s. Knew I recognised the name - loved following development of Planimeter/Grid a while ago!

Thank you so much! My company is shipping a finance platform at the moment, and I’d love to get back to Planimeter’s work when I am able.

It's like hitting snooze on the alarm clock. It's an illusion. You gonna have to wake up. You're not getting any more sleep.

I stopped hitting snooze as I got older. I either wake up or give up and sleep in..
