The Deploy
March 25, 2026
Raven wants to deploy on Friday at 4:47 PM; Chicken reminds everyone about 'the incident'; Raven claims it's one line tested locally; by 5:23 PM nobody knows how to rollback.
The Standup
March 24, 2026
Chicken worked on the thing they said they'd work on; Dove will do the same but with more urgency; Sparrow's blocker is not understanding what they're building; Duck has no blockers because they haven't started.
The Prompt
March 23, 2026
Management adopts AI; Duck's AI-written emails have seventeen exclamation marks; Sparrow's AI refactored the entire codebase for one bug fix; now nobody can review it, including the AI.
The Meeting
March 22, 2026
Dove calls a meeting; Raven points out yesterday's meeting was about having fewer meetings; the meeting about fewer meetings spawned two follow-ups; Duck arrives late and missed three meetings.
