I deleted data from production
This is why he is Data Engineering Coach and not actually responsible for production systems now. (apparently)<p>Everyone loves reading tech horror stories and peeling off the take-away lessons. My lesson would be, don&#x27;t hire this guy and don&#x27;t use him as a coach. He&#x27;s careless!<p>&quot;But this kind of thing could happen to anyone&quot; - sure, anyone who is irresponsible.<p>Am I ranting? Let me continue. I work on a team now with someone who seems to consistently forget to save router configurations and another person who yawns through meetings because he doesn&#x27;t sleep. These guys make careless mistakes and we &quot;learn&quot; from them. Except we don&#x27;t learn the most important lesson: Irresponsible people need to be off the team. They make more work for everyone else and make the team look bad.<p>But I guess the tech horror stories that amuse everyone on the forum or at the pub are better than saying, &quot;I am responsible and do good work.&quot;
