“Unbaking” a Cake March 2, 2007
Posted by atharkhan in : Humor, Personal, Tech , trackbackI used to work with a guy who had the greatest analogies. Every time we were about to work on a server, he would say “Remember, you can’t unbake a cake.”
This was his way of highlighting the importance of planning and beta testing before making a change to the production environment.
The concept applies to regular life as well. Before you open your mouth, remember “you can’t unbake a cake.” Well… let’s just say… I baked the biggest cake in history this Wednesday that desperately needs to be unbaked.
Luckily with humans there is an option of restoring from a backup, doing a rollback and clearing edits.  In other words, the concept of “forgiveness” may help unbake this one … over time.
