employee nukes github org as he gets laid off

an angry employee deleted the whole GitHub organisation / repos of his company out of spite as he gets fired ;_;

This has affected the production servers as well.

what would be the repercussions for that employee for pulling off something like this.

This is why your access is revoked before a layoff.

Cogoport deserved it, tbh.

Lmfao. He might have trouble finding a job though as more people find out about this. My guy is never getting repo permissions again 😔

That might lead to a startup of his own😂

Maybe I'm missing something but it doesn't seem like a huge catastrophe to me. Devs would have these repos cloned locally, so there is no code lost. I understand it would be quite inconvenient to gather all of the latest commits for all repos, but shouldn't be too bad ig. Also, how does deleting GitHub repos affect prod servers?

they had ci/cd pipelines setup in a way that code is directly pulled from GitHub then it's built/compiled, those deployments broke everything in place

Yes, i understand that is standard. But these pipelines get triggered either manually or on new commits, right? Deleting the repo, would just cause the pipeline to either not get triggered, or fail. In either case, the running servers shouldn't be affected, right?

What's a secret from a previous workplace you worked at? 🤫

I know sometimes we refrain from saying too much about our company. But exes can usually be talked about, since there's not much holding back.

Maybe it helps someone else avoid a mistake you did, or gain a new learning :p

Shoot.
