If you can, always set the title of whatever window you’re working on to capital bold letters, preferably red, saying PRODUCTION SERVER - DON’T FUCK IT UP. This has saved my dumbass a few times when I looked up before hitting enter.
I use IntelliJ for this and my prod connection is red, has warning symbols and it’s read only. I can switch on write mode if necessary, but it will prompt for it. Saves me a lot of stress.
On SecureCRT I make the backgrounds of production devices a rosy tint so I have something to remind me as I’m working. If it’s a core switch, fire engine red background and neon green letters. An added benefit to this is that I want to get off the core devices as soon as possible.

Forget coffee, this will wake you up. There’s nothing like dropping the wrong database scheme on a lazy Monday morning.

What’s the setting to make it in read only?

It’s pretty easy to set up but very helpful
