      One of my friends had a production machine go down bc someone apparently left vim running on a log file all night. Took up over 300gb of ram by the morning. Apparently they got rid of session timeouts because devs were sick of having to log back in

      I once interviewed at a company that bragged about not using version control or FTP, and how everyone made their changes in production.

      ~I’m so very glad I didn’t get that job.~

        At least we had backup data for all the times we had to rebuild from bare metal.
