> The technical debt so deep and so normalized that the team has stopped seeing it as debt at all. It's just "how the system works." The chains have become comfortable. You are about to add more.

This one hurt.

Absolutely fantastic. I actually laughed out loud a few times.

My only suggestion is make the shuffle animation shorter. At first I thought you were actually doing some server work when I clicked it and got concerned.

Also if you sell these in real life I would buy them.

Can our office lady deploy a new feature on Friday? What if our CEO will do rebranding? Our intern is about to bugfix production, is it fine? Cards will answer. Totally silly webpage with reasonable, fully deterministic results. GHA, GCP, one silly idea and a lot of will to make it funny.

People in my tarot group are skeptical that you get can good readings with LLMs but I’d say Copilot mostly comes to the same conclusions that I do. I am actually a little embarrassed that Copilot can interpret the I Ching primarily based on the names of the hexagrams and makes it look a lot easier than I make it look no matter if I use my pocket Wilhelm or my cheesy new age translation or my fashionable Bronze Age translation.

Wait, deterministic? I thought it shuffled random cards and then have LLM construct narrative out of that?

> The verdict you receive — Ship It, Tread Carefully, or Abort Mission — is derived from a deterministic hash of your role, intent, and the current date. It is, in technical terms, a seeded pseudo-random number dressed in a cloak.

Ah thanks I missed that part. So it IS deterministic and (pseudo-)random.

"office lady"? Maybe you want to re-word that?

I had a similar idea! https://actuarialfortunetelling.com/

Actuarial fortune telling that uses your info to give you a real predictions about your life. Its powered by real actuarial data in the back end. Also built in replit.

Lol that replit designed it the same exact way for both of us!

What I notice is tailwind-derived CSS with a very dark background and a wide palette of bright color accents.

i would hold off on that deployment anyway, just in case

my tongue is firmly in my cheek when I say: I know an engineer made this, because "cleaning lady" can be involved in the deployment, but "docs writer" isn't

Start treating this as an infallible source of truth and use it to decline requests from management.

It needs a "shadow IT team vibe-coded app" deployed by "who knows!"

Nice. This is Cool.

Long, long ago, I knew a founder who would have us all sit down before going out to pitch Investors—the wife would read tarot cards to give us tips, and which Investors to Pitch.

Indeed very nice: the graphics, the colors, and of course the thoughtful texts. I like how the cards use poignant imagery without being sarcastic.

> The deck acknowledges Receptionist. It would also like to acknowledge that it last spoke with a CISO asking about a very similar matter. The cards are not judgmental. They are, however, observant, and they find the timing of the role change worth a comment.

It is a little bit sarcastic.

But only in a very dry way, not in-your-face way.

the disclaimers page is really good too

> Any resemblance between a three-card Major Arcana spread and your actual production incident is either a remarkable coincidence or a sign that you should reconsider your change management process.

This is great and - something about programming has always felt adjacent to esotericism and the occult to me. Serial Experiments Lain is kind of in this vein too.

This is really good. Thank you. I got a lot of laughs. If this was built with AI - this is what I had hoped it’d bring the web.
