Table Stakes Are High With Migrations

Running database migrations in production is like mid-air refueling—precision required, failure not an option, and everyone's holding their breath the entire time. One wrong move and your fighter jet (aka production database) crashes spectacularly into the ground while management watches in horror. And just like military operations, you'll find yourself saying a little prayer before hitting that "migrate" button, hoping your carefully crafted SQL doesn't turn your company's data into digital confetti. The stakes? Just your entire job and possibly the business itself. No pressure!
