    If dropping a database scares you, you are either unaware of the disaster recovery process, or there isn’t one. Edumacate yourself, or the org, as appropriate, so as to increase your confidence when dropping databases.

      On a related note, a lot of companies establish recovery processes without actually testing them. Then the first time a recovery is needed they find out that it doesn’t work as expected.

      My protip for juniors and databases… never modify the production database and always use bound parameters.

    At some point I started singing “Oops!.. I did it again” for every repeated fuck-up I did.

    I’ve become really good at singing it.
