I feel like everything went south so fast, so i think im gonna quit. Everyone in this company is pissed at me right now, and they are removing a bunch of work on my plate. I've always had this idea that one mess up = leave or get fired, so i think now is a good time to leave. For those wondering, i broke a 100 million dollar backend payment system, and its currently not working in any environment

The should probably take some of those hundreds of millions in payments and spend some alleviating single points of failure then.

I asked them in the beginning if i could get a request for testing. They told me to intercept the production system so i can snag one there as its getting execcuted. Excuse me, you want me to do what now? Apparently, there are no standard testing requests you can use, or a pattern or anything

If thats how they are set up then they should have a production mirror to do all testing against. Something you can restore to a specific desired state for testing and then fuck up trying things out on.
