Delete query Memes

That moment when your fingers betray you and suddenly all your non-deleted users vanish into the void. The query WHERE deleted = 0 was supposed to keep the active accounts, but nope, you just told the database "delete everyone who isn't already deleted." And of course, this happens on the one day your DBA decided backups were "optional." Career speedrun any%. The thousand-yard stare says it all. You're mentally updating your resume while simultaneously Googling "how to recover SQL data with no backup" and "countries with no extradition treaties."

That moment when you connect to production instead of staging and run your DELETE query without a WHERE clause. First comes panic, then comes the twisted acceptance that you've just created tomorrow's emergency meeting. Eight million rows gone and somehow you're sitting there with a smile because hey – at least the query was efficient! Nothing quite says "senior developer" like the calm that comes after realizing you've achieved catastrophic success.

That moment when your stomach drops through the floor because you just executed DELETE * FROM users; and suddenly realize you're connected to production instead of your local environment. The five stages of database grief begin: denial, anger, bargaining with the SQL gods, depression, and finally acceptance that your resume needs updating. This is the exact face you make when contemplating how many years of your career just evaporated in a single keystroke. Career-ending query speedrun: WORLD RECORD!
