💩 Why are they MAKING CHANGES ON PROD?! 😮

💩 WHY DO THEY WANT TO AUTOMATE PROPOGATION FROM PROD DOWN TO SANDBOX?!? 😱😱😱😱

“How can a DevOps process automatically deploy changes in Prod to sandbox?” – I heard this question the other day.

Other architects: Why do you want to do that?

Asker: Well because users are users, and they will do what they want on prod.

Other architects: But why are they allowed to do so?

Asker: Well it happens. So how can we automate those changes into sandbox?

Other architects:…

Well, I had sooo many questions came to mind, but it outlined one thing:

Technical governance is lacking here.

It’s like asking: How do we get government guidelines to change the recommended daily calorie intake to be 5000 because I love my 5x chocolate milkshake and greasy cheese burger and a platter of bacon donuts with salted caramel (Darius Tracy how many calories is that alone??)

Bonkers.

Just bonkers.

This is one request that should be pushed back with a WHY rebuttal.

And followed by a hard NO. 🙄

Sigh.

Now I need that bacon donut because it just sounds so calorifically awesome. 🤤🤤
