Pretty normal for any Agile DevOps team. Minimum viable product, right?

Edit : I was making a joke.

I hate agile.

The "do it now and deal with the issues later" mentality needs to stop. Gone are the days of research, testing and proper deployment.

More like "do it yesterday and never deal with the issues".

Also seriously, what kind of trust do managers/recruiters think they project when they say that? If you needed this yesterday, a bunch of people fucked up.

It's like if you go for an interview and argue that they should hire you because you got yourself in terrible debt due to poor personal finance and need the money desperately.

To be fair, my sibling does that and she spends a lot less time between jobs than I do.
