Hi team, a quick summary of last night's incident. If a migration touches the payments table, we always run it on staging first — that's our rule. Yesterday we didn't. If we had run it on staging, we would have noticed the locked table before the release, and the clients wouldn't have felt a thing. If our alerts were louder, we would have reacted faster — but that's a separate conversation. Next steps: if today's fix passes review before noon, we will ship it at six. And just in case: save the dump locally in case we have to restore again.

“If you could live anywhere, where would you move?” “Valencia, no question. If I worked in an office, it would be a fantasy — but I'm remote.” “So what's the problem?” “School. If we move in the summer, the kid will start the school year in a new place calmly. If we move mid-year, it will be hard.” “Fair. I wish we had thought about it last year: my aunt's flat was free right then.” “If you had told me back then, we would have been living by the sea for a year now. Anyway: unless something unexpected happens, next June we're there.”
