It reminds me that back in July 2019. I was using the Windows file explorer to investigate an issue. When clicking on a folder to open it, my wrist slightly twitched while clicking on the folder, which led to the accidental move of a 650 GB operational data folder into a code repository folder.
For some reason the move into the repository folder was instantaneous but the opposite wasn't. All data import attempts errored during the 14 hours required for the data to be moved back to its original place. I emailed and voiced my apologies to the team present both in India and in France.
While I was not fired on the spot, it might have indirectly led to the disappearance of our devops (devoops?) team in Paris. Fortunately enough I guess I was the last team member to be sent away.
For my defense, our dev team had a intervention scope so big that they were essentially super-men once they have been granted access. One the rights granted to us was full write-access to all incoming data folders.
