Congrats on not fucking it up (presumably). That must have been a lot of pressure, as an intern.
My first internal question in my head was "how the fuck have they been living with this???" Of course the first thing I did was to inform the boss that I have to take a snapshot backup, and that working directly on prod is ill-advised.
He said "sure kid, you know better than me." WAIT WHAT?!
When I came back to the university and submitted my report, my lab advisor was also like what the fuck.
Everyone was perplexed all the way to the department chair.
When I started my career and I worked at small companies, I figured they just didn't know any better. Now I'm further along in my career I have come to realize that really big companies (as well as government agencies) have the exact same problems except on a much larger scale.
