New job, strict devops role. I asked the devs they're painpoints, no mention of local dev stack.

Spin up a local dev stack and it's a garbage fire. No feature flags, env vars, docker. Have to be careful due to devs using staging databases for dev work.

This is going to be a problem...

@zlice True, but to many is also a pain.

Here we have :

* Dev

* Staging

* Test

* Training

* Live

We now have reached the point where all tests are done in Dev and then pushed to Live.

All nice and they followed the rules for the 2-3 first months...

And here I am with a second platform that needs test data to test stuff but can't because the freaking test database has not been updated since ages...

Prod db should be automatically used to build the other databases and seeders. Ideally with privacy obfuscation built in.

'they are painpoints'??

'their', dude.

Forgiven if that was autocorrect, ofc.
