Consider yourself lucky. Last week I had a doh!veloper tell me (I swear I'm not
making this up) that he had to test his code in production because "the test
environment got messed up and its too hard to figure out how to make it right again".
He's a really junior guy and actually quite brilliant so I was gentle with him, but
now I'm REALLY worried about who's example he was following.

Yeah but it is so much work to add 10 new fields .
The latest one is 'Do we have a tool that can compare
the dev and the test environment so we know what we
have to put in test ?' .
Not only it is too hard to do 10 alter tables but also
it is too hard to make a list of what is changed (I'm
not even talking about planning stuff).
Here, the 2/3 of IT is from one of the biggest
consultant firm (Cap Gemini Ernst and Young, oups it
slips out ...) so 99.9% of the 2/3 are developpers
asking questions like " Can you tell me again the
difference between a primary key and a foreign key".
It's 18:20 , I'm going home and I'll send a less nasty
email on monday morning.
