Developers nowadays have gotten really good at setting up systems to spot mistakes, bugs and defects, and avoiding the usual suspects. You know better than to deploy a big change right before the weekend. You’re using pull requests and have great reviewers that catch all the mistakes. And you’ve got great tests coverage.

In this talk we will explore the sci-fi-like world that I believe is attainable: professionalism, a team where PRs with comments are the exception, breaking builds are signs of real issues and unexpected downtime is almost worthy of harakiri.
