That project I was sure would work... crashed hard at 11pm
Had this big data cleanup script I was running for work on Tuesday night. Thought I'd tested it enough on a small sample but when I let it run on the full customer list, it flagged like 400 wrong entries. Ended up spending 3 hours with my coworker James undoing the damage before the morning meeting. Has anyone else had a simple automation just blow up on them like that?

Did you read that one article about how 90% of data cleanup scripts fail the first time they run on real data? I saw that somewhere and now I always run mine in a test mode first just in case. Sounds like you learned the hard way like most of us do.
