My latest project runs on a VM I use vscode’s ssh editing feature on. I edit the only copy of the file in existence (I have made no backup and there is no version control) and then I restart the systems service.

So what if I mess it up? Big deal. The discord bot goes down for a few minutes and I fix it.

Same goes for the machine configs. Ideally the machines are stable, the critical ones get backups, and if they aren’t stable then I suppose the best way to fix it would be in prod ( my VMs run debian, they’re stable).

I feel i’m kinda vaccinated against the junior feeling because week 2 of my first job out of college, I crashed both sides of a cluster, leaving the client’s factory responsible for half of their European production dead for 3 days.

I panicked for a few days then they asked me to do an incident report and I thought I was cooked and then literally nothing happened to me. Nowadays if shit hits the fan at 16h59 then I’m gone at 17h00 anyway and so should everybody that’s bothered by the smell.

Si tu veux te barrer, dm ton CV. Je te présenterais bien l’entreprise mais au point où t’en es je sais que tu t’en fous donc c’est toi qui voit

A hexbear in that thread is literally claiming that “the soldiers did everything they could to avoid hurting him” when there’s a photo of him lying dead on the street after the tanks have gone through. They don’t think it’s fine, they’re saying it didn’t happen (curious)
