"We are giving away limited-edition, retro Rewind t-shirts to the first 100 people that successfully revert a schema change."
they are encouraging people to record videos of making schema changes and reverting them, in order to win a t-shirt
does this seem unnecessarily risky or in really poor taste to anyone else?
- ebiester 5y agoHopefully someone is doing this in testing or staging.
- misterbwong 5y agoI think that's the point. Schema migration is traditionally a _very_ risky thing but they're trying to make it come off as "safe", if you're a PlanetScale customer.
- throwusawayus 5y agoyeah but half the risk is on the application side, completely independent of planetscale! not all applications can handle some schema change occurring and then suddenly reversing. someone may get fired just trying to win a shirt also their exact wording, "successfully", so if it fails your db is broken AND you do not get a shirt?
