I find that if I am doing something "dangerous" (example might be using power tools) I have to say to my self "be careful this is dangerous" to avoid being on autopilot and making casual errors. Maybe a better example is the way you train yourself after you've picked up a box the wrong way and pull something to try to remember each and every time to watch your specific movements.

I shut down an NT4 production server because I was connected via remote desktop and clicked shutdown rather than log off. This was back in the day when there was no pop-up asking for reason you want to shut down and confirmation. Luckily it was just our internal intranet server!
- yuhong 14y agoYou were running NT4 Terminal Server Edition?
- kamjam 14y agoYes, i think so. It was so long ago and it was my first programming role!
- yuhong 14y agoAFAIK that edition had logoff instead of shutdown on the Start menu for that reason. You can still access shutdown by hitting Ctrl-Alt-Del on the console or clicking Windows NT Security.
- kamjam 14y agoIt was so long ago I have no idea. I defo vividly remember that I shut it down via the start menu, just one of many moments that stick out :)
