... I've been most wary, and worried, when the changes were out of my control, and I had no chance to review things......Have you ever heard the term "control freak"?? 😉
Certainly I have displayed those characteristics at times.
The issues for me have often been upgrades, whether from internal developers or third parties. Far too often their quality control is poor, or the outage required is beyond what they've informed me of.
It's not my fault, but I get some of the blame and have to pick up the pieces. There's no reason for me to be blase about a patch when I've had plenty of them require me to work into the night and cancel personal plans when they failed.
Yep, know that one. 🙁
Just come from a meeting where we were talking about a migration. Usual blank faces when I ask at what point would we rollback if things dont go as they should. And again the usual comment of dont need to test this because its been done a couple of times on other projects.
Oh well he comes another wasted weekend :crazy:
