Went to hot post on the sub, and it's [1], apparently

Not sure that going straight to production with every change is really best practice for something that could have such a disasterous impact with no pair programming nor review. This process is going to create catastrophic errors sometimes its got zero guard rails, humans are going to make mistakes.

I always hated admins that required my system to shutdown or reboot, especially when it was done automatically or with a short notice.

It's definitely a fake bait post, what they're describing isn't even possible in the way they said. The post and the OP comment replies even look LLM generated as well. They somehow have a good reason why every legitimate suggestion can't work.

The account was commenting on the satirical sysadmin subreddit yesterday, so they know what makes a engaging story.
