That Time Pete Hunt's Facebook Bug Made It To TechCrunch

Do you ever go back to some of those cringe-worthy moments when you, as a young starry-eyed software developer, brought down production at work?

Damn this is relatable, very glad I wasn't working at Facebook tho, can't believe pete is so chill 🤣

[@Honeypotio]

We could all learn a bit from Pete, that’s for sure!

At least not as bad as running "DELETE FROM `users`" on the production database :D

Will there be a longer video?

[@Honeypotio]

[@throwaway6288]

Idk will there?

[@manoharsingh6050]

Not too bad. We once pushed a bug that updated millions of users certain phone numbers. Imagine getting hundreds of calls on your phone for random unknown people
