Lying about your test results from Jepsen is like going onto a reality show with Chef Ramsey, being thrown off for incompetence, then putting his name on your restautant's ads "Chef Ramsey ate here!"

I'd pay to watch Kyle screaming at people in the MongoDB offices, not that he screams or anything. Just a spectacular mental image: "IT'S NOT ATOMIC! IT COULDN'T SERIALIZE A DOG'S DINNER!"

I would watch a tech version of Ramsey's show.. oh boy!

Yep, always thought shame there isn’t one but too small of a niche I guess. Also, almost everyone telling online that they apply best practices at their company is maybe lying and wishful thinking; that would come out so no-one would apply for the show. So maybe more of a startup show where ‘a Ramsey’ comes in when a (bootstrapped or angel invested; VC funded is not saveable that way imho) company is in distress for tech reasons put in by the founders. Relevant pet peeve for this thread; let us (tiny, cash strapped startup company with founders who know just not enough about prod envs to do a lot of damage) do everything autoscale in the cloud and now we have a burnrate of $28k/mo on AWS bills with 5 users.
