I broke something in production today. Not massively—but enough to cause panic.
I was updating a validation rule and forgot that it would block updates from a flow. The rule fired, the flow failed, and users were stuck. Classic rookie mistake.
So… yeah. From now on, I’m using sandbox for anything that might break stuff.
Sandbox lets you:
Test changes in isolation
Use realistic test data without messing up real records
Sleep better at night
If I could go back in time and give myself one piece of advice: never test in prod. Lesson learned.
