Equal parts higher-ed IT, web dev and support; with a dash of freelance consulting thrown in for good measure. (Oct/19: Seeking change of pace. Not afraid to take a step back in order to move ahead!)
In my early days, I learned (...eventually...) that complicated SQL queries with incomplete JOIN conditions on large data sets in production = non-responsive server = angry customers.
Fast forward to today, I insist that the IT department provide a dev/staging server which mimics production knowing full well that a runaway query (or never-ending loop, or recursive function with a misplaced terminal condition, or ...) can happen to anyone from time to time. Even the best of us! :)
