I’ve got easy mode: On-call woke me up. We’re five techies and equity holders with one employee, an intern. We pushed a few buttons to effect plan B and enable plan C, and sent a medium priority notification by chat.
Then, we sent the intern to the office to watch the meters. If she fucks up it’s not a problem until about Tuesday. So, we’re waiting to see if she automates the task, uses the existing routing template to ensure she’s notified of wonkiness if she leaves the office, and asks permission. She’s recreating the wheel and can then compare to our work. I thought I’d give her a couple hours before checking in.
