context: gail was my longest term partner, during high school/college. we spent 1577 days together, and june 6 marked the passage of 1577 days since we broke up. this was something of a personal milestone for me, marking a point where i might not be so influenced by her absence.
customer: hey can we flip this switch
us: pls do not, it fundamentally changes how the system works and takes several months to transition
customer: okay we set it in prod, good to close
spent the last couple days stressing over troubleshooting a few tickets going way more in-depth than necessary (peeked into enough black boxes for a lifetime), and when i finally got on a call with the customer everything worked first try
