Just a funny story. All of our devs and even BAs used to have prod access. We all knew this was a bad idea and put in a process of hiring a DBA.
I think in the first two weeks the DBA screwed up prod twice. I can’t remember the first mess up but the second he had a lock on the database and then went to lunch.
We eventually hired two awesome DBAs to replace that one but oh boy.
Imagine being hired to help prevent people from fucking something up, only to fuck that thing up in your first week—not once, but twice. You’d think after the first time it wouldn’t happen again…
