When I was in high school my mom was in a Tuesday bowling league, so she always came home late on Tuesdays. I took advantage of those couple hours of peaceful privacy to invite friends over to get high, and "bowling day" grew into our slang for any semi-regular excuse to get together and smoke bowls.KDH wrote:.

Some very strong contenders. Christian Joo could be a dark horse pick, although he's in the same bracket as Chardonnay Pantastico.

Maybe if we'd been savvier about marketing "bowling day" would have taken hold like 420 did. We were content to keep it within our little clique, where it remained an inside joke for years.
My poor mother.
With Red Swoosh, Mr. Kalanick started exhibiting his hallmark aggressiveness. When the company struggled, Mr. Kalanick and a partner took the tax dollars from employee paychecks — which are supposed to be withheld and sent to the Internal Revenue Service — and reinvested the money into the start-up, even as friends and advisers warned him the action was potentially illegal.
For months, Mr. Kalanick had pulled a fast one on Apple by directing his employees to help camouflage the ride-hailing app from Apple’s engineers. The reason? So Apple would not find out that Uber had been secretly identifying and tagging iPhones even after its app had been deleted and the devices erased — a fraud detection maneuver that violated Apple’s privacy guidelines.
Inside Uber, Mr. Kalanick began codifying the pillars of the company’s culture. He particularly admired Amazon, the e-commerce company that espouses 14 leadership principles including “learn and be curious” and “insist on the highest standards.” So he created 14 values for Uber, with tenets such as being “super pumped” and “always be hustlin’.”

So the obvious question is why does a developer have access to production?hepcat wrote:Our misanthropic developer decided to run a sql script against a production database before leaving for the day that has generated well over 200 connections, effectively bringing the system down. Thankfully it's a production system for internal time and expense tracking and isn't something we did for a client. But I'm anxious to see how he explains this away tomorrow morning. I'm assuming that I'll be to blame somehow. Although for the life of me, I can't figure out how he'll be able to spin this considering he told absolutely no one he was going to perform such intensive maintenance on the system on the busiest day for T&E's.

Which is not to say that giving read access to developers is never a good idea, but usually a copy of prod is enough, and if it isn't, only responsible, senior developers get to look around in prod, mostly during off hours, if your system has those.
200 open connections doesn't sound like a huge amount on Linux or Solaris or AIX. Is this a windows system?

As a misanthropic developer *without* prod access, I respect and applaud your concern.hepcat wrote:Our misanthropic developer decided to run a sql script against a production database before leaving for the day that has generated well over 200 connections, effectively bringing the system down.

Any chance a conversation with TPTB could give you the ability to lock down prod to ... well ... those that actually *need* it? Or screw that - just do it, then cite X, Y, and Z as reasons it had been done, when those that whine come bitching to your supervisor? You know - that whole easier to ask forgiveness than to ask for permission thing? It may end up with a little more work for the DBAs, but a whole lot more sanity for the production support team, assuming the new policy sticks.hepcat wrote:After he did a little more research though, things have been very quiet.
