yesterday at work I talked to a guy who owned a company thought bought our loan manager product.

to skip corners and avoid costs of an IT team, and since his company is small; he didn't have an IT department

so the backups he was doing were incorrect. and his server died.

which meant 20 million dollars worth of loan accounts that owed him money, he no longer had record of.

i got to tell him the good news.

there is nothing like telling someone they are now out of business and have no way to account for 20 million dollars.

it was a bad day for us both.
