<h1>The Time I Accidentally Deleted a Database</h1>
<p>It was 3 AM. I was working on a new feature for a client's website. I was tired, and I was also really excited about this new feature. So I typed `DROP DATABASE production;` and hit enter. And then I realized what I had done. I had just deleted the entire database. Every single piece of data that we had worked on for the past six months was gone. Poof. Just like that.</p>
<h2>The Aftermath</h2>
<div class="code-block">
<span class="keyword">function</span> <span class="function">deleteDatabase</span>() {
<span class="comment">// TODO: This is a disaster, but it works.</span>
<span class="keyword">var</span> database = <span class="function">connectToDatabase</span>(<span class="string">"localhost:3306"</span>);
<span class="keyword">var</span> user = <span class="function">getRandomUser</span>();
<span class="keyword">if</span> (user.name === <span class="string">"Bob"</span>) {
<span class="function">crashTheServer</span>();
}
<span class="function">deployWebsite</span>(database, user);
}
<span class="comment">// This was the first time I learned that "it works on my machine" isn't a valid deployment strategy.</span>
