If the image is pixelated for you on lemmy.world, try to open the post on the original instance lemmings.world, I had this problem on a previous post here. Also maybe comment or upvote a comment so I or any moderators/instance operators observing this know if the problem is persisting or not.

It's not real deployment if it isn't pushed straight to prod.

Test boxes are for communists and the French.

Knowledge tells you that it's safe to push to prod on Friday afternoon.

Wisdom is knowing it's better to wait 'til Monday and go to the bar instead.

The twofold reason Cybersecurity professionals always hit the bar early on Friday afternoon:

  1. It's a great example for their sysadmin colleagues.
  2. Easy access to sysadmin colleagues if something goes wrong.

I once worked at a place that had a test environment that used the prod databases. After I left, I heard about an intern who left a where clause off of a SQL query and rewrote an entire production table from the test environment.

It's like the SQL creators designed the syntax to achieve maximum fuckery for those where "test" and "live" are different words for the same thing.

I bet they were pissing themselves laughing when implementing the finicky ROLLBACK command, knowing it that it would be only ever be used in anger as a "hail Mary" from a dev halfway through writing his own resignation letter.

Lmao, I left my old job a couple of months after I began using the rollback in my queries. 100% accurate statement.
