cowboy hack

When someone is changing or "hacking" established IT or some other processes without any formal knowledge of existing process. It is not just a "hack" is one of those: "let's see what happens if I press this red button" ! Term came up from watching western movies when the cowboys would come riding into the city and start shooting randomly without any true purpose.

Is this your cowboy hack or you actually read the documentation before changing this process?
