    First dev, seems like an honest mistake and not on them. They weren’t properly informed of the schema, and seniors signed off before the script was run.

    Second dev - it happens, but this is why backups are crucially important, and always test the code before running it on prod, even if it’s a short script like this one.

        I remember learning about operator precedence in SQL the hard way at 4pm on a Friday. I wasn’t popular that day, and I never made that mistake again.
