I want to know what happened to the poor engineer who issued the command?

He will be promoted to street dweller while his managers will fail up.

Actually he was promoted to C-Level, CII, Chief Imperial Intern ‘For Life’.

It’s a great accomplishment to be be fair, comes with a lifetime weekly stipend and access to whatever Frontend books/courses you need to be a great web developer.

Will never touch ops again.

The blog post is putting the blame on a bug in the tooling which should have made the command impossible to issue, which is exactly where the blame ought to go.

Still I'd hate to be the first 'Why' of a multi-billion dollar outage :D
