Oh dude, we've all been there.

9 years ago I was working for a major broadcasting company in the arse end of London as a junior dev, building one of their Android apps.

We'd roll features out months before & enable them with feature flags via a json file we'd manually push to a prod server at a later date.

We'd just built a huge new feature letting you request content to be downloaded to your set top box remotely & it had a 250k marketing campaign to go along with the launch.

Senior dev trusted me with prod deployment rights.

I pushed the wrong json config to prod, launching the feature weeks before the marketing campaign.

Thank god I was a junior perm, that was definitely a firing offence.

That part's crazy! If you think it was a firing offence wouldn't they've been fired? (I don't think it is, but obviously requires system changes/explanation.)
