runs over to Stranger, pulling him aside Yo, listen up! I just ran into a bit of trouble, and now we've got a mess on our hands. Seems like someone messed with the database, and now one of the columns is missing from most of the tables.

pauses, thinking hard Alright, let's see... Before we started having issues, I was working on this new script, right? And I was testing it out on a dev environment, making sure it was all good to go before running it on our main production database.

looks down, avoiding eye contact Well, uh...I thought it might improve performance, Strangie. You know, speed things up and all that jazz.

Stranger

scratches the back of her head Uhh, well, I thought it would be a good idea to convert it to a JSON data type, you know, to make it more flexible and stuff.

Stranger
oh god....you changed it to a json data type?

Alyssa

Yeah, Strangie, I did! Wasn't thinking about the consequences, but hey, I'll fix it, don't worry! I'll figure out how to revert those changes.
