And yet like some, he ended up running into an old buddy who called him Munch and then it like spread. And so even his wife apparently didn't know how he got the nickname Munch.

Yeah, I remember the day where we got a new system for being able to, like, naming. Like, we got a new, like, AD setup or whatever so that, you know, kept your emails and your names or whatever. And it turns out that it had a little lower permissions requirements than the last one. And Munch went and changed his name and everything to Munch.

So instead of actually having to be like, oh, yeah, that guy, that's Munch, now in the system was properly Munch, which was fun.

Yep.

Yep.

Okay. Yes.

Okay. Yes.

Yeah, I mean, it depends on what columns you're grabbing, right? You have to know what things are where. And most applications, I mean, most of these columns were completely pointless. I am sure if you actually looked at them, they were completely not used for eight years or something, right? It's just like somebody decided, I'm just going to add another column.

All of our SQL schema was not actually in any source control. You just had to submit forms to the DBAs who would manually run them for actual like stored procedures of which there were hundreds or thousands. You had to like manually check them out in different environments and then write your name like I am editing this. Please don't edit it.

Uh, and then you would like leave a little like change log of what you did and you'd end up finding out like someone didn't do it in the lower environment. So by the time you get to production, it's wrong and all sorts of, uh, fun things there. So, you know, adding a column, as long as you can get one DBA to agree, you're good to go.

Yeah, it was. I think, you know, a lot of it were was things like, are they involved in this promo? Do they have this kind of equipment? You know, there was all sorts of different iterations of this product or like, you know, who is their salesperson? And it's so there there was honestly like the domain itself was very complicated.

I never got a full picture of all of this domain of what's going on. Now, as we now know, of course, and even then it was happening, like Stripe has simplified payments to like a nice minimal thing. And I actually remember at the time, there was a group that was supposed to be doing open source work and trying to take on Stripe. And I was so excited. I was gung-ho, 20-year-old, first job.
