I like this question. It makes me go back and think about the different mistakes and other low points, and go over how I learned (hopefully) from them. I've had my share of cowboy-style recklessness with hard drive partitions. That's always calming in a strange way because it forced me to clean out those files that I was sure I could find a use for eventually. A more recent mistake involves building websites for family members without a clear contract. I find myself spending more time adding features and doing tech support than I hoped for, and if I calculate the amount of time I spent and compare it to the money I'll make... well let's just say I was making more as an assistant manager at a pet store.
