    I can’t even enumerate the times I’ve saved my company from turning into dust

    I was the single person responsible to ensure our database had no issues deploying by writing end to end tests that used real workflows, guess what ? surprise ! lots of database locking issues, issues with database transactions, issues with the application straight up crashing.

    Fixed that days before our live deployment to a handshake.

    TBH eventually they did give me a huge raise and at the moment of writing this I do think I’m being paid accordingly, but back then I was like damn shit is cringe.
