Having production credentials in a dev environment is more stupider but they'll never learn because they outsourced their thinking.
Everyone has a development environment, but not everyone has a separate production environment.
This is almost certainly the case of dev happening in the live environment.
I think you meant to flip that. The only time one has a dev with no prod is prior to first release.
If environment is the live one, that's production not dev. Using it for development doesn't make it a dev environment. It means you only have prod.
It's a sarcasm about corporate spending decisions. The joke is:
The point being that if management has decided not to spend resources on a test environment, then "production" is in fact test.
The thing is Claude would have told them that too, it probably did tbh and they just clicked right through the warning
Dev cycles now.
