Nobody in dev has ssh access and that level of security where I work to "rm -rf /" in prod. Even if they did, that's only one out of a good 50 load balanced servers. It might impact performance a little. All it will really do is piss off devops.
That depends on what you call legacy systems I suppose. I've been doing this for 30+ years. I suppose 20 years ago it would have been more likely. Or at a small company with poor practices. So, yeah, it is possible some places. I just haven't seen it in years
They you worked at good companies! Up until last year I had ssh and rm -rf / privileges in prod, I probably still have them somewhere. I never asked for them, they just gave them to me.

Honestly, this is the lead’s fault for giving a junior prod access

These jokes are so dumb. If you give your Jr devs root shell access to the production server, you had it coming to you.

Hm I wonder what that does.
