Every changes should be considered and get across within the team devs dbadmin.. plus your credentials should be assigned to a variable through out your code... so that no matter what you do... it would affect the whole system including your teams and clients side.. it is not a good practice to do changes without consulting your client.. changes should be done in your development excluding the production code..

Junior devs are junior for a reason, the lack of experience.
From your rant it sounds that he was the only one doing the database. Who did the peer reviews? Junior dev probably only did one or two calls before when he was still in school.
Your rant is just blaming one junior dev, but the whole thing comes across wrong to me. -
@Codex404 Even as a junior it should be obvious that it's a bad idea. Juniors still have some basic idea of programming and thus should quickly realise that hard coding the value is completely stupid. Especially since OOP is the "status quo" paradigm being taught, which focuses on reuse.
-
@TheCapeGreek that is true, but blaming it on someone who is programming in the real world for about 3 months is a bit harsh.
(assuming the rest of the world also becomes a medior after that time period) -
@Codex404 3 months? Yeah that's different. Barely even a Junior then.
-
@TheCapeGreek then you are three months a junior and after that you have done probably three or two projects for two companies.
-
@jAsE the problem I think isn't to replace them, but rather that theres an unknown amount of files all establishing a connection via hardcoded string.
When you realize that you're googling an error message you've implemented yourself
The hardest part of being a programmer wasn't the education, the self-teaching, the sleepless nights or the ho...
Yep, that is so me!
*Client phones me at 11pm*
Client: It's not working!!
Me:What's the error you're getting?
Client: "Database connection error"
*Phones system/dB admin*
DB Admin: Yeah we had to change the SQL logins, I've sent you the new ones
*Phones junior dev in charge of dB programming*
Junior Dev: Yeah you'll just have to go and change the credentials. They're in all the places where we're using the dB, just before the statement, in the connection strings...
We make over 470 calls to the DB 😑
