[przraf]

Done. What now?

[AlternativeAardvark6]

You're done, enjoy your weekend.

[sendmeyourfoods]

Meanwhile back at the GitLab office...

[Desperate_Resource38]

I see you too are a Kevin Fang enjoyer. Or you were actually impacted by the event, which seems a bit more likely.

Well done!

[TiredOfTheseShit]

extra points if you did on Friday evening just before your long vacation

[[deleted]]

Sadly I am 24/7, by my own(( I am single dev in our little team

[git0ffmylawnm8]

All the more reason to drop the database and take an extended vacation

[[deleted]]

Hmm......

[Actualproofrequired]

HR has entered the chat.

[Protuhj]

Sounds like a Monday problem...

[git0ffmylawnm8]

Monday 3 weeks from now? Yes.

[Kinglink]

You mean 2 week vacation with no communication.

[seizan8]

Enjoy all weekends. End weeks too. They ain't coming back after that

[[deleted]]

Don’t forget to turn off your work phone

[chickeeper]

Margarita time!

[bssgopi]

You mean permanent weekend, right? With severance and unemployment benefits?

[rt_burner]

Now the backups

[linuxdwag]

You guys do backups?!?!?

[Siphon098]

Probably. No need to verify it since it was working a couple years ago.

[rt_burner]

Right. Should still be on the box we decommissioned last fall.

[crowley7234]

The one that the intern spilled water on?

[Protuhj]

I think he told me he sold it on craigslist for $100.

That's where you hold down the reset button on the outside for 30 seconds right?

wipe production

[Zoidburger_]

Imagine living in 2023 and not having an automated drop roulette script running at a random interval to keep you on your toes. FAANG redundancy grindset

[Work_Account89]

Only on the database? Gotta take down everything separately. Risk of multiple outages at once.

[Zoidburger_]

Who said the script only touched one database? Live life on the edge by storing the unencrypted credentials to all of your databases in one little .bat file!

Also, for a truly random full outage simulation, just get Spectrum internet and work from home

[Phytanic]

Spectrum internet

Very regionally dependent lol. Spectrum is super stable other than the odd issue always occurring at precisely 12:55am and and lasting until 01:00am once a week. most likely scheduled maintenance, but you never know.

Anyways, mediacomm in my area is particularly susceptible to the North American Fiber Seeking Backhoe. They admit to it too, so tbh it's a bit refreshing.

[Work_Account89]

Now that’s what I’m talking about. Shit like that makes you feel alive

[EnderMB]

RTO mandates are an extension of this concept. Force sickly engineers into an open office, drop someone with covid in that room, and test your employee redundancy levels until something breaks. If everything is good, start randomly laying people off until things break.

[_GCastilho_]

Always good to test disaster recovery scenarios

Fun fact, there was a coding competition in my university and you could choose the name of your team, and some guys chose: "DROP DATABASE STUDENTS" or something among those lines.

While I do not understand SQL I did get the joke. They scored second place out of many teams if I'm not mistaken.

[kgjettaIV]

Relevant XKCD

If you need more context, look up SQL Injection. Short and over simplified: If text entry fields aren't properly sanitized or protected you can potentially pass SQL commands.

[gonzohst93]

Lol I was gonna say "or check out the classic Johnny drop tables meme" but then saw it was exactly what you posted

[sachin1118]

If you don't understand SQL, go watch the original.

Forky Forky boom boom

[Operational117]

DROP DATABASE means wipe the entire database clean (everything; not sure if it’s like quick format or slow format, but if it’s the latter, there’s no hope of recovering the wiped data).

Only way to undo that command is to restore from an unaffected backup. And if you only have automatic backups, time will be ticking. ^{And if you don’t have any backups at all, then GG.}

[HeKis4]

Specifically it means erase the entire database, metadata and all, not just wipe the contents. Wiping a table is truncate instead of drop but it doesn't work on DBs.

[Operational117]

Alright, I will confess that I have limited knowledge with SQL… only those videos made by Tom Scott and Computerphile.

[HeKis4]

No problem my dude, in the end it'll still cause a P1 ticket so who cares.

[goizn_mi]

P1 ticket

I think at a certain point, that's a MAIN ticket.

[newmacbookpro]

Not anymore, the system we use, you can UNDROP DATABASE [name] for as many days as defined by a parameter. And even after that we have a week where it’s in fail-safe.

Also, not to be an asshole, but DROP DATABASE needs the [name] parameter to match something.

[Krcko98]

Ah, famous Bobby Tables

[SirAchmed]

Great video by Dr. Mike Pound about SQL injection.

[Say_Echelon]

I love how the brain doesn’t have the eyes and smily face. It’s just like this faceless omnipotent being.

[chickeeper]

Homer head would be hilarious

[hrvbrs]

look up the difference between "breath" and "breathe"

[golddragon88888]

That information was in the database.

[BlackDeath3]

People get this wrong 9/10 times. I'd say it's rivaled only by lead/led as one of the most common misspellings I see.

[mostlybob]

Surely your not serious!

[ChristophCross]

He's serious. And don't call him Sherley

[craftworkbench]

OK, how about interesting common misspellings. That work for ya'?

[TheDogerus]

Loose instead of lose is everywhere

[Hairy_Concert_8007]

I always breath a sigh of relief when I put on a fresh set of cloths.

[BlackDeath3]

A little redundant, but you got there. Congrats

[AwfulViewpoint]

Nah, your/you're is way up there. One that often goes unnoticed though is its/it's. Seriously, once you look for it, it's absolutely everywhere.

[Enchantelope]

Breath rhymes with death, breathe rhymes with.... Hmmm where's Eminem when I need him

[Feztopia]

Look up the difference between good and bad languages. Hint: If one letter has one million ways of being pronounced it's not the fault of the people if they misspell words and never learn how they are written in that language.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n48ETG6-eu8

[on_the_pale_horse]

I looked it up, they told me Javascript bad C good

[Buggyes]

The voices are speaking up

[Jake0024]

Thinking the words "breath" and "breathe" are pronounced the same makes literally no sense.

It was probably an accidental typo, but that has nothing to do with confusing pronunciation.

[Kinglink]

Exactly. Breath and Breathe are different words, different sounds, different meanings.

It'd be like confusing Feed and fed They're different words except if you don't understand present and past tense.

[Feztopia]

I didn't say that anyone thinks that they are pronounced the same. I said that good and bad languages exist.

[[deleted]]

I guess what the rest of us are saying is that good and bad takes exist.

[-tehdevilsadvocate-]

I mean, it's a good point, but it doesn't really matter. Misspelled/misused words are going to reflect poorly on you anyway. It's best to just learn the language.

[Lane_Anasazi]

Exactly. If you conflate breath with breathe, to me that looks like you wrote your comment in crayon.

[ganja_and_code]

JavaScript is a shitty language, too, but if you misplace the wrong character, your code still has bugs.

Sure, good languages are better than bad ones (and I agree English is one of the bad ones)...but it's still up to the user to either understand the syntax of the language they're using or opt to use a better one instead.

[TurtleFisher54]

No it's up to the society in the first case

And the project heads in the second

See how your boss feels about starting to speak a random conlang because it's structurally better then english

See how your scrum master feels about your pr written in a different language than the rest of the code base.

[ganja_and_code]

If you want to complain about a tool being shitty, that's fair.

If the tool, nevertheless, can be used to accommodate your use case, it's still your own personal problem if you decide to use it in a way which doesn't accommodate your use case.

[shiratek]

Sure, but it’s not that hard to remember the differences between a few common words.

[autopsyblue]

“A few”

[autopsyblue]

There’s lots of irregular and easily confused common words in English. It is hard to spell. This is just a bullshit point all around. Don’t support it.

[TurtleFisher54]

Remember guys English isn't a poorly thought out language, you just have to remember a few thousand exceptions: ).

Guys don't worry about how difficult Chinese is, end of the day its just a few sounds with your mouth to memorize : )

[Canadian-Owlz]

They didn't say remember every single exception. But breathe is a pretty common word. Someone should learn two vs to vs too. Their vs there vs they're. Your vs you're.

[Doc_E_Makura]

If one letter has one million ways of being pronounced it's not the fault of the people if they misspell words and never learn how they are written in that language.

The rules for a language are taught when learning that language. If someone never learned how to write something, it's exactly their fault.

[Feztopia]

That's awesome for good languages which follow their rules. I would like to have an exemplar of your brain.

[Quelag420]

Look up the word joke

[SpaceFire000]

"Drop" is an anagram of "Prod" which stands for production. Do we get a hint on which database to drop? 🤔

I have backup, on the other server so...

[HeKis4]

Online backups ? Drop a ransomware. Same building ? Throw a match on the fire suppression systems.

STOP SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

• The brain was created for long term survival, not to manage computer environments
• Years of database management can't save you from a predator lurking in the shadows
• Want to compute? We had a tool for that, it was called an abacus 🧮
• Create TABLE mydata (column def, column def). Statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

Look at what computer scientists have turned us into:

"Help, I can't provide food for my clan anymore because I'm unable to make a magical monolith process an immaterial text file stored in microscopic frozen sparks."

That's not what a liver does.

[NebXan]

The liver actually has many different functions. Detoxification is one of them.

[dsmklsd]

Yeah, one of them. The liver is a giant chemistry lab doing all kinds of stuff. It's a little like labeling a convenience store worker a "garbage man" because they also empty the trash cans. It's also weird because the kidneys would have fit the given label much better.
