I expected ‘git gud’

GIT GUD & GIT OUT.

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?

Here's one for a TV show.

In 2022, a crack quality assurance team was made redundant by a CTO for a botched product launch they didn't commit.

These men promptly escaped from a maximally unstable job market to the LinkedIn underground.

Today, still wanted by recruiters, they survive as soldiers of fortune.

If you have a broken codebase, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the QA-team.

Is there a robust test suite?

Merge, test, merge, test, patch, merge, test

red_tomato@lemmy.world · 21 pts · 138d

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.

harambe69@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 12 pts · 138d

The test suite takes 24 hours to run fully.

Miaou@jlai.lu · 5 pts · 138d

If by test you mean wait for customers to yell at us, it's super robust

grue@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 138d

Merging all the feature branches in time is easy.

Having the project compile afterwards is hard.

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 --force

rm-ing .git isn't gonna work cuz you'll have to re-add the remotes.

otter@lemmy.ca · 10 pts · 138d (2 replies)

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

ozymandias117@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 138d (1 reply)

Or just git push origin --force blank:main

I'm not sure about the git history wipe, I can't test it myself right now

Unironically I think this is my only shot at getting past our code debt.

Rooster326@programming.dev · 8 pts · 138d

It didn't say anything about wiping previous debt

Miaou@jlai.lu · 4 pts · 138d (1 reply)

Wdym you don't like waiting 3 weeks for a code owner to approve a 1 line change?

ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 138d

"Just an FYI, you can add multiple people to code owners"

- Me, every week to that one guy

My question would be for what time zone? That seems like an important detail

VoteNixon2016@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 29 pts · 138d

Well my pull request simplified all time zones to just UTC +8:45 so we never have to worry about it again

NotAnonymousAtAll@feddit.org · 10 pts · 138d (1 reply)

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.

zalgotext@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 138d

IDK, that sounds like a fun twist to me

ICastFist@programming.dev · 10 pts · 138d

Sweet ninjesus, i'm having a heart attack just imagining it

nie@piefed.social · 7 pts · 138d

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?

Inucune@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 138d

Every repo I can suddenly has a requirement for my $1k/license addon and won't run without it.

gwl@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 6 pts · 138d

https://www.openchaos.dev/#votes is kinda similar to, but weekly instead (voted for submissions that automatically get merged)

fubarx@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 138d

This feels like it needs a 'Hunger Games' add-on.

What does "all tech debt is legal" mean?

sukhmel@programming.dev · 5 pts · 138d (1 reply)

That accumulation of a hundred years of tech debt during that 12h window is acceptable

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.
