Computers do this on purpose, I am sure.
- Write a change to code.
- Test a lot. Decide it is all working.
- Test loading on half a dozen local devices, all different configs. All works.
- Issue as a proper beta, and re-test on all those devices.
Yay...
- Test on customer site set to load a beta. Exact same hardware as some of earlier test cases. Nothing special in config.
- Cry!
- Pull the beta.
- Work out how to reflash at customer site without having to drive there.
- Find a sacrifice.
Yep, power cycle, and all hunky dory, WTAF...
No clue why.
@revk@toot.me.uk tech Schadenfreude
@revk you are behind the times. Current best practice is to ship it anyway and gaslight the customer
@etchedpixels@mastodon.social @revk@toot.me.uk and thus docker was born!
@ozoned @etchedpixels Simple embedded code, exact same hardware, really should be easy... LOL.
I bet we reflash and try again and this time it will magically work.
@etchedpixels One a Friday at 5pm, right?
@revk and the entire dev team takes the two weeks after shipping off yes
