> I HAVE NO TOOLS BECAUSE I'VE DESTROYED MY TOOLS WITH MY TOOLS

Only comparable experience I can think of is "breaking" the terminal via bash_profile and then not being able to fix bash_profile via the terminal. Or locking yourself out of a web server via security configuration update.

Raise your hand if you broke the SSHD server config and then restarted it!

That: uh-oh! moment.

Definitely didn't do that last week, no way. Thankfully, the server I didn't push the wrong credentials to before restarting wasn't the new instance of the test server.
I've definitely never done that via Ansible on a bunch of machines at once, nope nope nope.
I’m an enormous idiot who’s done that recently. If not for the fact I had another window open, I don’t know what I would have done.
chroot from an OS whose terminal is not broken and a shell other than bash
zsh was the one I broke, so bash would have been preferable.
