I find this post super confusing, like I can’t tell if it’s satire or just super strawmanning.
The problem clearly isn’t that “you can delete prod” — the problem is that you can “fat finger a command line and accidentally delete prod”.
You can absolutely make it harder to delete prod—since this is something few people are doing regularly—by requiring some kind of confirmation. That’s the process change being discussed, and is the smart response.

- seoulmetro 2y agoNo, the person I replied to did. Yes, still no strawman.
- zamfi 2y ago“thank the junior for discovering a flaw” — presumably what you’re referring to — is not the claim you’re making.
- seoulmetro 2y agoBeing able to alter the code is not a flaw. Making the mistake of altering the code incorrectly is.
