    This WTF makes me feel much better about the time I accidentally typed ‘rm -rf *’ in the live directory of kittenwar.com and deleted the entire site.

      I used to hate logging on to the live system when I worked for a ‘proper’ bank for precisely this reason. I never did accidentally delete all the customers though.

      Kittenwar was almost all backed up so there was no major damage, but it was a cold moment.

      You’ve never lived until you’ve done something like that. I once filled every text field in the company’s db with the word “a*se”. It took 40 minutes to run. Thank heavens for “rollback”.

      I’ve only ever had root unix access in one job. It gave me the absolute fucking heeby jeebies, especially when I ended up being the system admin.
