Remember when cisco switches defaulted to vtp server mode? Cratered the data center of a medium sized retail company with one once.

I was running a syntax to update a bunch of records in a customers dBASE system and fatfingered the filter so it started overwriting every record in the database recovering was as easy as replacing the dbf file with a backup but people had been working even though I told them not to so they lost 20 people x 30 min of work in that database

Satellit3 posted:access 2010 was the last version to support dbf files. my fun tangential dbase fact my company is a huge multibillion dollar enterprise that's still privately owned by a particular family. said family is mostly at arms length from it, but as a part of the corporate holding company we maintain certain aspects of their private poo poo. notably their charitable entity. they get requests day in and day out from whatever loving cause feels like asking (ranging from multimillion dollar grants to certain eco charities cuz that's their cause du jour, down to some local theater group that wanted a few grand to build a new stage), and there's three old ladies up on the top floor that manage all the requests, store the data, get approvals, and then follow up to make sure it wasn't just the United Way guy buying another porsche again. technically all of this is pretty private info, partly because it's uncouth to let the unwashed masses know what the family's causes are, but also because the app that does this stores poo poo like bank numbers for the finances behind all this poo poo. so naturally it uses an Access database, in plaintext, stored on a shared drive that the three little old ladies had no way of understanding is actually open to the whole loving corporation. And still using Access 2010.

forgot that SELECT INTO overwrites existing data and wiped a table on a prod db...but not an important one so who cares, just restored from backup and nobody noticed pushed a front end change to a prod server without testing because we had no dev and the application poo poo itself, had to phone vendor support who were like "what do you mean you put it on prod?" but fixed it anyway....tbqh their own software was really at fault here as their own loader process broke even though it had not actually been changed pretty minor tbh

i accidentally thought the storage array i migrated a bunch of VMs to was capable of handling the IO load but it was not and then i stranded a prod DB there for several hours because storage vMotion kept timing out

didn't deploy prototype code properly to my company's demo laptop. said prototype module didn't work properly for demonstration in front of prospect that was already thinking we were fuckups. didn't help that impression. in my defense, our method of deploying prototype code for demos was completely manual, and it was only a matter of time before this happened. tasked with coming up with new UI framework to replace our late 90s ActiveX-powered abomination. chose Adobe Flex. lol. boss asked for estimate on writing a new module in said new framework that was still under active development. I estimated two weeks. took three months due to the fact that the new UI framework didn't have all the nice features of the old one yet. learned an important lesson about estimating when dealing with new APIs. thought I was on a development server. sudo shutdown -r now. I was on production. I color-coded my SSH windows after that. made a change to the firewall to eliminate an unneeded rule. turns out the rule was what opened port 443 to our application. new company rule: no changes to firewall without manager approval and only after hours.

ran unit tests locally with the DATABASE_URL set to production wondered why the test suite was taking so long to boot up (first step is to wipe/reload the db) lost 2m rows of our client's data, taking the app down for 36 hours while we attempted restores from backups 3 times (the backups aren't actually reliable) i dont actually consider it a fuckup though because this incident allowed us to move away from mongodb to a real database

What kind of mickey mouse operation lets you blow up production poo poo if you set the wrong DATABASE_URL?
