Snippet #674

On revising all the comments on GitHub's "we accidentally deleted the database" post, it seems they either have very able moderators, or nobody but gushing fanbois has bothered to post a reply. Somehow this epic failure is being branded as grounds for praise. And somehow, the idea of keeping your test environment separated from your production environment is labelled as a brilliant, when in reality it's just a no-brainer (in this age of cloud computing if you accidentally blow away your production environment because you ran tests directly on it rather than just temporarily spinning up a clone for testing purposes, you were frankly asking for it).
