My team spent three hours yesterday trying to debug a memory leak. This clear troubleshoting path should prevent future arguements. - Does the service use Docker? -> Yes -> Blame kubernetes DNS. - Does the service use Docker? -> No -> Why are we still running bare metal? -> Blame the CTO. - Is the bug in staging? -> Yes -> It is a feature. - Is the bug in prod? -> Yes -> Did you write it? -> No -> Blame the guy who resigned last month. - Did you write it? -> Yes -> Is there a PR? -> No -> Force push to main and blame git history corruption. Some might say this lacks technical rigor, but it has resolved 90% of our standup arguments. Surely assigning blame quickly is more efficient than finding the real bug anyway.
