“The problem didn’t happen to me” doesn’t mean the problem doesn’t occur. It’s like speeding.

PS: I saw a developer take out an 80K user enterprise because they tried to change the look and feel of a login page live on the prod server. They didn’t know any better because they were used to editing pages in live systems. That bad habit resulted in about a million dollars of lost work.

Oops.
