> 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.

Sounds like the code of OpenClaw haha

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.

kimosMar 27, 2026, 6:58 PM
I had just assumed the slow animation was buying time to call out to an LLM.
rembishMar 27, 2026, 6:38 AM
Speaking about cards purchase. Gimme some time, I will do my best.
rembishMar 27, 2026, 5:52 AM
Shuffle animation speed was addressed :)

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.
btreecatMar 27, 2026, 12:02 PM
Fascinating that the skeptical nature stops short of the tarot itself
PaulHouleMar 27, 2026, 2:15 PM
It can be justified rationally through thermodynamics and/or game theory (Bronze age I Ching.)

If there was a club for therianthropes who don't have atrocious taste in art or one for practicing cantrips that somebody unethical could use for taking things without paying [1] I might join that but what I can find is the onmyoji guild.

[1] ... which I don't do. When it goes too far by accident and the spell breaks on my end I always go back and pay. I need to keep practicing though to stay in good standing with the Trickster's union

Wait, deterministic? I thought it shuffled random cards and then have LLM construct narrative out of that?
dijksterhuisMar 27, 2026, 12:31 AM
> 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.

mcmoorMar 27, 2026, 4:23 AM
Ah thanks I missed that part. So it IS deterministic and (pseudo-)random.
danpalmerMar 26, 2026, 10:06 PM
"office lady"? Maybe you want to re-word that?
sillysaurusxMar 26, 2026, 10:55 PM
What’s wrong with office lady? (Or milk man?)

Folks, I've created a GH action: - uses: rembish/deploytarot-action@v1.2 https://github.com/rembish/deploytarot-action

That went waaaay far that it should :D

cm2012Mar 26, 2026, 9:30 PM
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!

Copperplate and cursive together is the new em dash
hatthewMar 27, 2026, 12:36 AM
What I notice is tailwind-derived CSS with a very dark background and a wide palette of bright color accents.
rembishMar 27, 2026, 4:22 PM
FYI I've contacted a friend of mine - a designer - she will be fixing some issues with cards. When it will be done, I will be thinking to order a small amount of physical decks for selling. Stay tuned.

> The cards observe it is Friday. They have not forgotten the Great Friday Deploy of 2021. They have not forgiven it either.

It's... it's Thursday.

captaincrowbarMar 27, 2026, 12:31 AM
Has anyone got the hang of Thursdays yet?
AvicebronMar 27, 2026, 12:35 AM
have you tried salt and muscle relaxants?
rembishMar 27, 2026, 2:25 AM
Oh! My tarot table is in Europe. Will fix
hatthewMar 27, 2026, 12:30 AM
Got the same, maybe it's looking at UTC time?
kyrofaMar 27, 2026, 12:33 AM
Heh, server time as opposed to client time at least.
dijksterhuisMar 27, 2026, 12:32 AM
i would hold off on that deployment anyway, just in case
rembishMar 27, 2026, 3:41 AM
Should be fixed
roygbiv2Mar 27, 2026, 12:30 AM
Not in Australia!
starkparkerMar 26, 2026, 10:42 PM
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.
kabdibMar 27, 2026, 12:26 AM
I intend to :-)
onion2kMar 26, 2026, 9:25 PM
It needs a "shadow IT team vibe-coded app" deployed by "who knows!"
rembishMar 27, 2026, 6:37 AM
Addressed.
sxpMar 26, 2026, 9:28 PM
On a similar note, you can use https://tarotpunk.app/deck-1 when planning is your next startup.
amikaeelMar 26, 2026, 10:40 PM
I will absolutely be using this from now on for all my future deployments

MuromecMar 26, 2026, 9:17 PM
Everything about this is great.
nine_kMar 26, 2026, 9:44 PM
Indeed very nice: the graphics, the colors, and of course the thoughtful texts. I like how the cards use poignant imagery without being sarcastic.
vntokMar 26, 2026, 9:56 PM
> 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.

nine_kMar 26, 2026, 10:55 PM
But only in a very dry way, not in-your-face way.
rembishMar 27, 2026, 2:27 AM
Thank you!
BrajeshwarMar 27, 2026, 1:46 AM
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.

_kulangMar 27, 2026, 6:25 AM
I would very much like this on my CI/CD pipeline

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.
JohnMakinMar 26, 2026, 11:25 PM
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.

Um, where I am it's still Thursday.

when you're deploying to prod it's always friday
