  • Was relocating a $10k piece of networking hardware and dropped it into another 10k VM server. Server was fine, network hardware was not. It was during a project that was a real mess, thought it was a stupid mistake though.

    We were able to work around it, though we did lose the contract we were trying to make. Honestly though given how rushed and panicked that whole three months was though, we were lucky nobody suffered anything worse. Real shitshow.




  • The only company I can think of off the top of my head that hasn’t had this issue is valve. Like they obviously aren’t perfect, but they are consistent and don’t cash in user trust for short term profit. I can’t help but see the fact that they never went public and don’t have some kind of weird money fetishist at the helm as key to that.
