As an OPS guy you know what really grinds my gears? Developers not paying attention to shit like this.
We have a job in production that is a powershell script calling a powershell script calling a java applet. Now you may already be thinking "what is this abomination?" And you're right, but that java application is set to DEBUG. IN PRODUCTION. So every time it runs it generates 1gb of logs.
Do they fix it? No of course not because if it's not broken don't fix it. But Jesus Christ we have people developing without understanding fundamentals like "YOU DONT LEAVE DEBUG ON IN PRODUCTION".
I don't understand how this is even possible.
People are dumb
