Time to ship 2024 to production. Happy new year, fellow hackers. May your code always work on the first try and never regress.

Midnight deploys are such a pain, why can't we deploy the new year during business hours?
We tried delaying new year deployment in 2020, 2021, and 2022... it didn't go so well.

So back to the tried and true pipeline!

At least we stagger the transition across world time zones.
It feels more like an eternal beta to be honest.
It's not a great idea pudding to production at this time of year! Particularly when there are no requirements, unit tests or functional tests available!?! It's /dev/urandom all around
