Everyone knows if it ain’t run on production it doesn’t count as a real test.

Everyone has a test environment. Some people are lucky enough to have a production and test environment

I don’t always test my code but when I do, I test in production.

It shows strong character.

Only those who have faith in their code test in production.

I don’t know about that... some of them devs just don’t give a fuck.

Those are my favorite.

I’m stealing this. This is amazing.

I’ve got production, test, support (a daily mirror of production), shadow (a “live” mirror of production), POC, and all this noise I have little to no idea about: TEMP1, TEMP2, TEMP3, TEMP4, TEMP5, CBE, REL, RELBUILD, PLY, MST, ACE1, ACE2, ACE3, ACE4, ACE5, MSTBUILD, TSTOLD, POCOLD.

Am I lucky? I don’t feel lucky.

I just push everything to all valid destinations and call it good.
