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

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.

Literally just a VM/VS. Fucking VirtualBox or VMWare. How shit are they? Get fired and put all this in your unemployment request. No way it will get denied.

Your only fault here is agreeing to do the work without the proper systems in place. At your next employer remember this incident and refuse to do risky work unless they are ready to spend time setting up the proper tooling.
