Agreed. Imo, having "on call" rotations is a clear red flag and bad software practice that has somehow made it in the mainstream.
I understand the idea of "mission critical" when you're running software on the Moon or something, but if your Earthbound software has so many potential bugs that you need to have dedicated people being on call every weekend to fix bugs or restart servers, you just built it poorly.
