After a flurry of last minute fixes to problems arising from my inability to guess what’s in code I’ve never seen, I managed to issue quite a few patches and deploy fixes to my infrastructure by way of flawlessly executed tasks by my new hire. Today’s overall stress level was still unacceptable, but the silver lining is that the growth in my team means the load is shared just a little more and I no longer stand alone. I’ll take that as a win.
