I have taken down an entire major website multiple times with both code and operations.

It's harder to do for a product dev and it's harder to do in a mature infrastructure, but if you work in infra and you haven't caused a nearly complete outage of the system you work on within a year or two, I would question if you were making any real changes to it.

If you get blamed for the outage as an engineer your management is bad. Outages are a result of managements decisions and priorities, and generally not a result of engineer negligence. Blaming an engineer is a way for management to neglect their responsibility. Extreme Ownership is a great book that talks about this.
