Unless you have information not available in the original post or reply, you're making that judgement off of a severely limited set of (largely one-sided) data.
- javajosh 14y agoIf you read the email stream, the CEO wanted to withhold the referral bonus as a punitive measure for a work-related mistake. His subsequent "apology" in the comments tried to unring that bell, instead blaming an "unclear" referral policy for the "misunderstanding". The first act was unethical, the second was egotistical, and both judgements are based on the CEO's own choice of words, not Josh's.
- veemjeem 14y ago"work related mistake"? If anything, the CTO should be blamed here... it's not hard to do a sql dump on the hour for backups.
- mgkimsal 14y agowe don't know the size of the db involved. multi-gig dbs dumping every hour may be production-limiting.
- gaius 14y agoWell, I've worked on a 50T DB doing 800G of changes per hour, which was recoverable to any point in time. That's not even particularly big by today's standards.
- mgkimsal 14y agoand you dumped the entire 50terabytes every hour? The point above was that they should have been doing a db dump. that's not always the best way (or even possible) to deal with large data sets.
- gaius 14y agoNo, but why would you do that? It makes no sense when there are better backup strategies available (archived redo logs, hot standby, filesystem snapshots, etc etc).
