I'm preparing a major deployment & what do I see?

SOMEONE MANUALLY EDITED PROD AGAIN

IMO they deserve to be hit on their hands with a stick every time they even think of fucking with it.

Oh hey, I remember you.
You helped unfuck my repo once!

But yeah, idiots.

@retoor Well we have various branches for various deployment targets. While the dev side uses git , the production platform has it's own inbuilt editor that any idiot can touch ( since our customers never care to manage permissions properly ) so the commits I found fucking with the codebase on a specific target branch are authored by the app that syncs the changes from git to the platform. So I usually don't know who did it , just what they did if I'm lucky.

@Ranchonyx I did? O.O

Haven't done anything on my personal GitHub in a long time ..

Not that I can remember what I did yesterday.

Sounds like me playing with Terraform tbh.

@ElectroArchiver Oh, it's been years already, so yeah, fair.

Horrible. Sounds like it's time to have a "Team Rules"-talk.

Make it a rule that in editing prod manually is banned except for in rare extreme exceptions. Ensure that in order to be allowed to manually edit you must do something noticeable like post to a slack-channel named emergency-edits and say what you did. That'll at least alert all other devs something has been changed. And it'll keep people from doing it unnecessarily just cause they think "it's no big deal"

@Ranchonyx Ahhhh

Years, .. what have I done with my time ..

@jiraTicket We already told them multiple times. It's our customer's staff that's the problem , apparently the marketing team gave access to an external contractor .. genius.

@retoor Lol, didn't even realize

@ElectroArchiver "It's our customer's staff that's the problem , apparently the marketing team gave access to an external contractor"

Oh, damn. Dealing with 3rd parties (or... if a 3rd party hires a contractor... that's even further out 🤣) is the worst - everyone is unsure of who is allowed to lay down the law for them.
