Dev is a messy playground several months behind prod
Dev is a messy playground several months ahead of prod ๐
Right? What does OC think dev is?
They're referring to the tendency to reload the dev environment from production a couple times each year, while production is being tweaked daily without any record of changes applied.
Remember, however bad our own shop is, someone out there puts up with crap that even our own team doesn't have to put up with.
My point is that cowboying changes into prod is bad practice.
Lol. Yeah. Your point stands.I'm not disagreeing with or trying to correct you. Sorry if my comment came across that way.
I'm just trying to commiserate that cowboying changes into production is so common that it is some folk's work reality, even on well run teams - i.e. when their peer's teams are poorly run.
That is when you cast the team into the fire
Well, is some mix of alternative futures that may or may not pan-out on reality.
Its terrifying how true this is.
