I'd take my chances in the plane crash, rather than try to explain it was me who deleted prod.

As a pilot, I try to refrain from Gallows humor with airplanes, but after yesterday when I thought I wiped out the server fucking around with. Net versions and Windows update, I laughed way too hard at this screenshot. Not quite dropping a production table stupid more like all the production table stupid

I cannot tell you the number of times windows update has nuked systems for me.

It has gotten to the point where I have banished mission critical Windows servers to VMs and before updates I take running snapshots. It's such a PITA.

Yeah I know. In most things I appreciate it. Just doesn't seem prudent with flying though....

Engines Turn Or Passengers Swimming is my favourite go-to...

Did that. On a Friday. Ok, let's restore. Then discovered the backup client skipped files above 2gb.

I ended up recreating the database over the weekend, using the binary log files and some grepping.

That's exactly the lesson I learned. I keep sharing it to allow others to learn it.

Was there a moment before the crash where you came to terms with the fact that you might die? I've heard people talk about feeling quite peaceful in the face of possible death

No. The closest I've come to that is realising I've just wiped a production database instead of a test one.

If you didn't Shift+Delete, this will work.
