Forgive me, but that's a figure of speech I've never heard before. What does it mean?

[-] RacerX@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago

By breaking production, I'm referring to a situation where someone, most likely in a technical job, broke a system that was intended to be responsible for the operation for some kind of service. Most of the responses here, which have been great to read, are about messing up things like software, databases, servers and other hardware.

Stuff happens and we all make mistakes. It's what you take away from the experience that matters.

I don't work with a lot of systems, but one thing instantly comes to mind.
