True zen is achieved when you realize it's not your problem. Even better when the thing eventually breaks and you can be smug about it.
It's your problem when they can't make payroll because of it. And it's your problem when they ultimately blame you for not having the solution ready to implement.
The first has happened to me once.
The second more times than I can count.
Draftand write in the description that management says this should not be merged until the site breaks.And while you're busy making this PR to fix a problem that you haven't been authorized on, you're falling behind on current tickets.
The only way to realistically make this happen at most companies is if you're doing work for your company on off time, and, generally speaking, never ever do that for any reason unless you're being paid for on-call.
Yeah my joke was kind of partly inspired by the drawthefuckingowl meme. Step 1 would be the owl lol.
