> professionalism One short story about how I got a rude email one morning at work saying we need to change all our connection strings in production (internal applications) because machinename1234.corporation.lan doesn't work anymore so they moved it to a new machine machinename1235.corporation.lan I still don't know how someone at one of the top five Internet providers in the nation thought it was acceptable to do that instead of renaming the new machine to the old one. It isn't like we were pinning certificates or something fancy. I am pretty sure the certificates were self signed, which is ok for on prem. > How many companies don't even have visibility of the 1000s of web servers that have been accumulated over the years of merges and divisions etc? I wish we had thousands of web servers. At one place I worked at it was the same set of few windows server boxes for everyone and everyone keeps tripping on one another's toes leading people to say well QA and preproduction are broken it will be fine once we are on production.
