I actually don't think that's the dead-cat-saying that the parent is referencing. I think that it's this concept http://itskeptic.org/dead-cat-syndrome.html

I am also unfamiliar though and I'm reading up on it right now.

That's the one. Only old fogies (like me) know it I guess. It was the thing we all referred to as the impetus behind DevOps, when it became a thing a decade ago.

i’m not an old fogie and i kind of guessed “throwing a dead cat over the wall” was what you meant.

although i was actually taught DevOps proper before it got super fashionable.

maybe that makes me an old fogie nowdays? :/
