    They did it once by mixing meters and feets, and crashed the Mars lander.

    Edit: looked it up, wasn’t actually meters vs feet, but newton-seconds vs some American eagles per gun unit for force

      At my first job after university, we did releases every Friday evening. From 3-5pm, all you would see in the Slack channel was a flurry of everyone committing straight to master (with a bunch of merge conflict commits between). Oh and then we’d release. Fun times.

        A free for all, late Friday deployment is baffling… We’ve got a strict window of Tuesday-Thursday for releases (unless it’s a critical issue), and a 2-3 day merge freeze to help mitigate unexpected changes.

        We’ve got a relatively small team with LOTS of moving parts, so minimizing deployment issues is always top of mind.
