Disaster can also be a great teacher: Long ago, I started work at Oracle with 2 cohorts. We were asked to install the product locally as a sandbox to work in and learn.

I learned more over the next 2 days of frantic troubleshooting than most learned over the course of 6 months. My cohorts laughed at the time, but they never caught up.
