The Docker Disaster
Ten thousand users. One extremely fluffy avatar.
A routine frontend release ships a convention photo to every customer. Repair the mistake and discover whether an accidental wolf can become an intentional choice.
How the story begins
NarratorTuesday began with the dangerous promise of a simple frontend update. Wolfy watched the container build finish at 9:47 AM. The pipeline was green, the coffee was warm, and nothing on his calendar mentioned becoming the face of ten thousand customers.
WolfyClean build, successful push, healthy rollout. I could even eat breakfast while it is still technically breakfast. This is what people mean by work-life balance: a deployment completing before the toast achieves the texture of a roofing tile.
NarratorAt 9:53, his phone started vibrating across the desk. A minute later, the CTO asked why the login page featured somebody in a wolf costume. Wolfy opened the site. The toast became an entirely theoretical concern.
WolfyOh. That is my FurryCon 2025 photo. Heroic stance, tail up, very enthusiastic sign. I made that costume stitch by stitch. I absolutely did not make it the intended centerpiece of our customer login experience. What do I say first?
