Ask yourself a question: why is he "unable to test code before pushing it"? Is he so stupid or is he so overworked (all these years without a help) and now has even less time to do what he is ordered to do (by manager) because he has to cope with endless questions and complains by you and others on top of his already busy schedule? And how about you - did you even try to see his situation or are you all under such stress that you do not even have the time to stop and think clearly? Did anybody actually asked him what he needs? ...or you just came in like a flood with "it is our code now and this is how it is gonna be .... you stupid little...." Start by writing tests and think how to divide the task in such a way that you do not need each others perfect and up-to-date code. Do you really need him to first implement/fix something for you to do your job or you could actually create some independent test-layer or fix it yourself but are lazy and complaining, all blaming the one and only that managed to keep it all running that long with bus factor of 1? Are you really helping?

I hate that too. I switch off my computer every day and that is the perfect time to make it update. Well, it need some more time in the morning, stupid, but it does not hurt that much as if it forces a restart late at night when I am still working at home - I have no standard work-time in this case, stupids from MS! Just wait 24 hours before forcing any update!!! ...and if I choose to update when switching off, do complete it by restarting and trully switching off when done! Ahh, sorry for being angry... worst things are often done with good intentions :rolleyes:
