Nature Finds a Way to do DEV-Ops

Saturday morning, at an ungodly* hour the Pagerduty for Indra DEV (ID) buzzes, "Tomatoes"

After a quick triage of the system dashboard, ID pings Surya DEV (SD).

SD: "Dude, do you know the time, and that too on the weekend ?"

ID: "Tomatoes are 120/kg, and rising fast"

SD: "You rained on their parade, so you can stop it."

ID: "I did stop. And I never thought I would say this, but there is too much water. So you need to deploy a fix."

 

---------------------------------

Down to Earth

Me (Stepping in, while Wife is on a Zoom with family seniors) : "I had a lovely ride. Most Lakeview Layouts are now proper lakes, and look who is laughing, not the builders, though not my drive train either, with half a kg of mud on it now."

Wife, Sarcastically: "And quite a bit on the floor as I see."

Family seniors Zooming in on me- "Why is he still riding, did we not tell you what Dr DEV-I said about exercising ?"

Skeptic Son: "Nana, how do you know it is true ?"

FS: "We got it on WhatsApp ! And from 5 different people, before you ask."

Skeptic Son senses defeat, and like any wily teenager switches the topic and dons his other Avatar.

Eco-Activist Son:  "What about the elephants ?"

Me: "Saw only one"

Son: "Yay !"

Wife: "Whaaat ?"

Me: "Dont worry it was a playful little baby elephant."

Wife,Hysterically: "Dont you know the mother could come rushing at you any time ?"

Via the Zoom: "..We told you ...reckless fellow..."

---------------------------------

Meanwhile back at the DEV Bhoomi 

 

Since the fight between ID and SD was getting ugly, they decided to appeal to the DEV Manager (DM).

 

DM: "Whats the matter ?"

ID: "Tomatoes"

DM: "Ahh, say no more."

SD: "Why do they need Tomatoes ? Let them stop eating so much Pasta and Pizza. Italians are ruining the country. And ID, Good job on turning the Roman themed villas with the Faux Brandenburg gate into a replica of Venice.

ID: "Not the Faux-Italians, the Punjab De Putter need their Butter Chicken to celebrate the recent developments."

SD: "Did you forget the lesson you were painstakingly taught, at Gowardhan Parwat ? Did you find Sanskari Cows underneath it, or these South American Nightshades ? And why do you think it is called Butter Chicken, and not Arrabiata Chicken ?"

ID: " I admit I overdid the rain, but now you need to make things Sunny Side up"

SD, Darkly: "Not possible, we are still in Waterfall mode, you had insisted this is the best for us ?"

DM: "Stop bickering. We need to be agile and do DEV-Ops. And the payoff ? Forget Crypto, Tomato is the asset class that will protect us in this inflationary environment. Even SHIB does not go up 3 X in a week. Imagine the volatility, we can control both supply and demand, and manipulate markets even better than what the Weedy 420 guy does !"

They setup a DAO, and issue some NFTomatoes's. ID Batters, and SD betters their commits at regular intervals to ensure CVI and VIX are "Managed".

-----------------------------------

Back on Earth, the interplay of the sun and rain made it a beautiful ride.

 

Here's the baby elephant.

 I stopped to take some pics, and put my helmet down to enjoy life at Snails pace !

At the top of the climb was an abandoned quarry brimming with water, shimmering like a Scandinavian Fjord.

Sunrise over the Lakeview Layout turned back to lake.

 

If you are wondering about the Java Fish Fry- All washed away, like the road next to it, and the 5000 Cr worth Bitcoin boosted in Bengaluru.

* Why Ungodly- to clearly establish that Gods and DEV's have nothing in common. Any such insinuation is the machination of the readers dark mind.
