Sometimes I think the infra at the small company I work at isn't great, but we've not had direct dev access to prod DBs from day one. They're locked down at the IP level. You'd have to go through some serious hoops to accidentally connect to prod even if you had the keys. I remember as a child thinking adults had everything under control. That they know what they're doing. I guess I assumed a day would come when I too would know. That day never came. It's easy to think when you look at shiny websites and the first paragraph of this comment that other adults do know. But I'm often reminded of the truth: nobody knows. Everyone is always operating at least slightly outside their comfort zone or, in the case of the article, wildly.
