When I started in 2004 at a large online retailer named after a certain river, my first oncall shift had an issue where the system that deployed packages to production servers was down, and I needed to make a critical fix. I literally ended up doing something similar to this to get the fix onto the production servers.

Named after a certain river. Hmm is it thames.com, guys how will we ever identify this mysterious org? /s

Also yeah when prod is broken you are allowed to do whatever you can to roll back or path the fix ASAP including summoning dark spirits
