When will AI replace engineers? - 5:50 PM: Spot a bug in prod. Could wait till tomorrow. Obviously, I don’t. - Quick local fix. Works like a charm. Confidence level: high. - Branch created. PR up. It’s past 6 PM. Rational brain: “Maybe do it tomorrow?” Me: “Let’s chase perfection instead.”

- Hit a merge conflict. Of course. Spent 20 minutes diff-wrangling files I didn’t even touch. For accuracy. - PR is merged. CI/CD ready to do its thing. Except it doesn’t. - Cloudflare picks this exact time for a regional outage. Cool.

- Backend is already live. Frontend is still chilling in staging. Sync issues now in production. Delightful. - I go to the lake to reflect on life and poor timing. - 20 minutes later: Deploying to prod from my phone. At this point, why not.
