500 Error, it was the guest...

Our little leaderboard of people who have "Broken Production" in some way shape or form, and how much it cost. Numbers not exact obviously, all adjusted for inflation.

Oops...

1. Chris Knight - £millions, ~20% of turnover, for auto emailing each customer, every other customers' prices for the same material
2. Raxit Ramani - £1.2m, but in fairness, procurement made the mistake and didn't tell him
3. Mark McCracken - £88,400 (€78,000 in 2015), for rewarding players with pounds rather than pennies
4. Georgia Smith - £62,000 (£50,000 in 2020), for not checking for capacity they already had, in an on premise environment before committing to cloud use.
5. Ian Reeves - £31,000 (roughly £20,000 in 2009), for creating a network loop, causing every phone in the building to ring at the same time
6. James Balloch - £3,500 (roughly £2,500 in 2012), for dropping a table we need

Clean Sheets

• Michael McCarthy caused a CI outage which had no business impact
• Marie Wigmore dodged a bullet at none other than the post office with Fujitsu
• Chris Hunter didn't do it, but they couldn't release for more than a month on a public facing service
• Sam Jones nearly ended her career with a £1m trade, by clicking the button in prod instead of dev, but was saved by a savvy manager...
• Dave McNeill fixed it rather than cause it, and it happened twice, they reset every player's balance to £20 all at once. Full shutdown mode
