So today I discovered that there’s a cron job that holds non-reproducible state that died, and now our system is fucked.

The cron job doesn’t live inside any source control. This morning it entered a terminal state, and because it overwrites its state there’s no way to revert it.

I’m currently waiting for the database rollback and have rewritten it in a reproducible/idempotent way.

    Only tangentially related, but “What a elegant house of cards” is an insult i’m going to use someday.
