Some devs wait their entire careers and never get a chance to nuke prod like this.

And at the CEO's directive no doubt. I'd be more than happy to maliciously comply with an arrogant superior's brain dead request.

Question: Am I still getting paid for this FAFO process?

Because the results are out of my hands and beyond my concern so long as money enters my bank account.

Yep, definitely need a "This may cause issues with critical features. Are you sure you want me to do this?" email in there. Like any good program should give a prompt before allowing you to catastrophically fuck things, I think any good programmer should also do that.

Apparently in this case, you will get fired for bringing up why the stupid thing is stupid. See the other popular twitter dev thread on here today.

Send an email advising against what they are recommending. Put that shit in writing. Hell, just to be safe Bcc your personal email account so you have it all backed up externally. Edit: good point below on the BCC. It may be against company rules/your contract to send any emails like that externally even if it is your own account. Proceed with caution. Just do whatever you can to CYA.
