I was actually really impressed with this individual! For someone who has less than a year of experience, they're showing quite a bit of initiative, drive, and curiosity - which really are what make or break engineers as they develop. Taking the time to do a blog post (effectively a post-mortem) and share it is even better!
And yes - I've literally done this exact same error (with TB of video data!). Spending the following week remediating all of that data loss was a great lesson in patience and attention to detail. :-)
OP: If you're ever looking for a job be sure to send me a message. Contact info in profile.
- Moru 4y agoMy mistake was on floppy disc with source code, other text files and images. Was hand editing (in hex disc editor) the floppy to get back the data, sector by sector. Fun times. Not going back there though :-)
- nso 4y agoMine was a DELETE FROM Users; WHERE... Fun was had.
- codegeek 4y agoUsually the recommendation is to not start writing the DELETE query first. Write the SELECT query first and see the results. If you miss the WHERE clause, you will see that immediately. Then change SELECT * to DELETE. But I assume you have learned that lesson already :)
- Moru 4y agoYes, but it can't be stressed enough, always the first time for someone.
- tasuki 4y agoWrt "less than one year of experience", looking at Nikita's CV and GitHub, despite the title, they aren't really a junior developer :)
- franciscop 4y agoTrue, he's been teaching programming since at least 2018, I was in a similar boat where I'd been programming for almost 5-7 years for fun and profit before my first official fulltime job.
