"When you pass --dry to a Java application expecting -dry, it gets ignored. The script executed for real, deleting accounts in production." hrrbdrbrbr 🤦 🤯
Not the point of the post, but in my own scripts which are designed to perform potentially dangerous operations, I've been switching to having it do a dry run by default, and you have to pass the `--live` option (or `--for-real` or whatever you want to call it) to actually run the thing.
