I remember my first big screw up, at my first start-up I worked at.

I mounted production server webdir as an sftp mount remotely. Then I remember doing chown -R at some higher level directory locally thinking it surely won't affect NTFS remote system, but boy was I wrong. It caused a one whole day of downtime. Thankfully easy to fix once I figured it out.

My boss couldn't live it down for a week or two, but eventually it dissipated and I earned a lifetime lesson, and nothing really was lost.

Almost 7 years in since my first job as a developer and I did a 7k£ worth of damage at my current company after merging an enormous PR which among others, messed with the production DB. It was so huge none approved it but I got written confirmation from my manager to merge and "see what happens in production". :P Shit happens. It's never your fault, well, unless when it actually is.
