    It was $5k worth of training, and well worth it, since you still remember the lesson.

    Reminds me of an issue while carrier-testing a to-be-released smartphone. The third party hired to do this testing would sideload an app to run the tests, but it would try to do something hinky in the background with logging, leading to an infinite retry loop for opening a nonexistent file, effectively doubling the device’s power consumption.

      Yep.

      That’s also not the most money I’ve ever unintentionally cost an employer.

        I would be frankly amazed if it was. I’ve got nearly two decades under my belt and I have some legendary fails.
