@LoganDice this is funny because table you'd place the coffee on, and suddenly you got coffee everywhere. 😂

@LoganDice i once deleted an entire production database by accident... we had three that needed backing up. i backed up two, then i had a total brainfart and thought i'd backed up the third. then the server was stopped, rinsed, restarted, and... when it came time to restore the third one i realised what had gone wrong.

@LoganDice wait, WHOSE production databas??

@LoganDice "One little missing WHERE clause and about a million customers inexplicably moved to Poznań... #Monday"

Ah, yes, externalizing problems, @LoganDice. It'd wake everyone else up, they'd start calling me, and I'd replay a backup. I know how to do that because I regularily destroy the production environment, as I am the dev.

@LoganDice Unless your blood pressure drops and you keel over in shock.

@LoganDice just reading this raised my heart rate

@LoganDice wanders off to check on the backups

@LoganDice waaaay too awake after that

@LoganDice The journeyman electrician I was apprenticing under would sometimes deliberately hit himself with 120VAC to wake himself up in the morning.

@LoganDice holy crap! That gets the blood pumping. I've created queries before, forgot their purpose deleted it and had to recreate. Blood pumping.

@LoganDice Nothing like a little bit of the old stress adrenaline to get your day going. Natural caffeine > covfefe 😂
