## What Jamie wrote

Chaos testing can be great for testing, but this kind of random deletion of your profile is next level. 

> Our solution at Graphite has been to run a roulette script, randomly deleting one of our engineers' Graphite accounts every day at 9 a.m. We don’t just reset onboarding—we delete their account, tokens, configured filters, uploaded gifs, and more.

I like the reasoning that went into why they do it. The developers building the product would otherwise never experience the onboarding process.
