@JsonBoa exactly... even the interns have access
-
@AlmondSauce ikr? the worst part is that it's a really nice guy, and he had good intentions. the reason why he redid the tables was to make the process faster, but the lack of warning broke the process entirely
-
@darksideofyay How on earth can changing table names make anything faster?! But yes, sometimes clueless idiots can be lovely, just clueless.
-
@AlmondSauce he rearranged a lot of stuff actually. not only were the tables renamed, but the way the data was being read too
-
@darksideofyay Fair cop in that case but yeah - definitely should have been done by an established ticket and PR that everyone was aware of.
-
@AlmondSauce yeah... the truth is there's not a lot of paperwork between these things and it could work out with a quick group message, cause it's a small team. having the proper procedures in place would be great, but it's not gonna happen 🤷
-
@darksideofyay it will happen if you decide to make it happen.
-
@electrineer right... because the intern is gonna override the way a huge company goes about their processes
-
@darksideofyay you can always suggest. Now you have a real example of what it could prevent. It's a small team so not that unlikely to happen.
-
@electrineer we have one of these occurrences every week. not even the people above have a say in that s*it, and neither do the people above them...
-
@darksideofyay it's a decision internal to your team.
-
@AlmondSauce hahahaha you think the change was made through code instead of direct editing the db?
Boss: so, problem x happened
Coworker 1: huh weird, what database is being used?
Boss: *adds Coworker 2 to the call*
Boss: so, problem x happened
Coworker 2: oh 😳 i forgot to tell everyone i changed the names of the tables and everything is now here
Me, just listening: 🤦♀️
Dude... he's nice, but c'mon, that's a dick move
