this is exactly how you earn your prod stripes. dropped the db on day 3? good. now you’re officially a backend engineer.

no backups? perfect. now you'll never forget to set one up again. friday night? even better. you got the full rite of passage.

people act like this's rare. it’s not. half of us have nuked prod, the other half are lying or haven't been given prod access yet.

you’re fine. just make the checklist longer next time. and maybe alias `drop` to `echo "no"` for a while

Dropping DB on day 3 of your business? Probably fine. Dropping it on your day 3 but on day 300 of your business when you have paying customers? Seriously?
