# The Development Process

**[Dev Squad](https://daily.dev/sources/devsquad)** · [@ramijames](https://daily.dev/ramijames) · 1 min read · 19 upvotes · 3 comments

## Summary

The post humorously describes a chaotic development process where coding is done sober, code is pushed while drunk, and debugging while hungover, with releases driven by spite. It contrasts this approach with agile and clean methodologies, highlighting the challenges faced by developers.

## Content

They call it “The Development Process”

You code sober.
You push drunk.
You debug hungover.
And you release out of pure, unfiltered spite.

It’s not agile. It’s not clean.

But it gets deployed — eventually — usually around 4:59PM on a Friday.

"The Development Process" is a t-shirt for the devs who’ve seen too much, fixed what should never have existed, and learned to navigate Jira like a war map.

Wear it to your next retro. Or your next resignation.
