> I know which one I'd prefer to grok at 2AM with alerts going off.

At that time I'd just opt for sleep. Or sex. Or drink. Reading code doesn't belong to things one should do at 2AM.




And yet we've all done it.


No. We didn't. At least not we all.

That's just a myth spread by a few workaholic programmers. Luckily, there are enough 9-5 programmers to clean up the mess created by those 2AM committers.


note how they said grok and not work? this is what oncall looks like, reading code at 2 AM


I'll invoke a no true Scotsman argument here.
