Deploys should be obvious

I always use a timestamp as a postfix. Makes issues super easy to track.

One time I did a deploy, and checked the service, and the deploy worked!... once. Then I reloaded the page, and the page was wrong, it was an old version. Then I reloaded and the new version came back!

I'd added a running service. If it was originally running version 1, and I deployed version 2: first load would return v1 page, 2nd load would take v2, then it would flip back to v1, v2, v1...

That was... exciting.
