I think this happens because the dev needs to create a MySQL user so they google that, and the how-tos show how to make a superuser account, so that's what they do.

"Much good work is lost for the lack of a little more."

There are, for example, some users I've encountered that believe every CLI command must be prefixed with 'sudo' because they've never learnt what privileges are all about.

Same sort of user that uses root for every damn thing. I think Ubuntu's 'how to' culture is partially to blame here, as it inculcates this practice of casually sudo'ing all over the place, like a dog pissing on every lamp post.

Man, there's a type of dev that will just take every shortcut going.

The antechamber to the datacenter has a strong smell of sterilizing alcohol. My muscles tighten anticipating a needle being stuck in me, such is the strength of this association.

I have seen this only once before, and that was with a single disk that died then came back to life when taken out and put back in.
