I’m agreeing with the “it’s not us” vibe. I work on a team that has some planet wide scale software pipelines.

I broke it, hard. I’m not a software engineer so I had no idea how to undo what I had done.

People from 3 different teams, two of them experts from other teams who heard my call for help hopped on a call and spent all day helping me fix the issue I made and then some. This was a hard stop on a cortical package pipeline for 24 hours and at no point did I feel like my job was at stake despite it clearly being my fault, and due to me running a command I know I shouldn’t have and cutting corners.
