First, I wanted to say "ouch", lol then when I finished reading everything I was smiling. I am in the process of transitioning to fully become a data scientist and I don't want be on-call duties. systems fail and degrade, and as long as stakeholders are still asleep, these failures can be fixed during working hours.
Ouch...I got paged last night only to confirm that our system's self-healing policies worked as designed.
You are correct that some problems should be fixed during the daytime (when properly caffeinated) instead of 3 AM.
Even though we have all our systems in place, the lack of knowledge of stakeholders is still an issue we all have to face. Sadly.
