You should take it upon yourself to make regular backups in case you fuck up really bad. I had an intern that deleted everything on its fifth day, luckily l was automatically making backups two times a day, so it was fine.

Why would an intern be allowed anywhere near prod DB? Do you not have lower environments?

[-] Rosco 5 points 8 months ago

Company was a shitshow, new features or changes were expected immediately, so we got used to work directly on prod. I told him to test anything on a dummy DB and show me before we submit it, but he got around it when I wasn't looking. The security tools were garbage, I wasn't allowed to change permissions.

Sounds fun! As long as you have no stake in the company lol

I left to pursue my studies, the intern took my place and was put in charge of everything, I don't know how he's doing now and I don't really care.

Yep I do that on a local project basis before I make any updates. Saved me a couple times from my own mistakes ๐Ÿ˜…
