Unfortunately what you have just said is given as a shining example of why some coders hate other coders. If they're not going to contribute to core work, then add "perceived value" like docuemntation which a good manager sho

Not really. They managed closer to "undo" the break, which still makes it look like their disaster recovery might also be un-tested. I'm sure there are many companies who would lose 24hr of tracking to get back online in a fe
