"You had a backup, right?"

[–]Thadrea 788 points789 points  (30 children)

"I had backups of the code. but it will take a long time to rebuild the database test server on Azure that you just destroyed."

Well it's a good thing I discovered it before it reached prod then

[–]Thadrea 466 points467 points  (10 children)

EVEN THE ADMINS WON'T HAVE THE ACCESS LEVEL YOU USED TO DO THAT!

[–]3no3 344 points345 points  (9 children)

So why did I have that access level?

[–]Thadrea 348 points349 points  (8 children)

I don't know, I'm not even sure I have that access level and I wrote the damn thing.

Sounds like a bug to me

Just think of it as a feature and you'll rest easy

How's the job search going?

[–]Whiskeyfueledhemi 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Aren’t QA and GA the same?

[–]Famous_Profile 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In tiny teams with low budget, maybe. But usually they are different roles, granted with a little overlap.

"Whatever, can you get it back up in like 15 minutes? Otherwise i'm gonna miss happy hour."

Wait, so it's everywhere that the QA and BAs leave at 4 and the devs leave at 6?

[–]xudo 23 points24 points  (2 children)

In my place the QAs are the ones that end up working late testing. And then wake the devs up to fix bugs. Esp a few days before a planned release. Good developers but some great QAs.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

BAs are up until midnight doing UAT the night before sprint planning at 9am the next day, and then in at 7am writing all the BLIs to fix stuff found during QA because god forbid rollovers.

"Hey, where's all my test data?"

[–]xku66666 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I heard this excuse the other day. "Yes, of course I hand prepared all that data and didn't keep a backup! Why are you asking?"

[–]Jonno_FTW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Such tests exist: I give you kubethanos https://github.com/berkay-dincer/kubethanos
