Linux sysadmin horror story
I did the thing....the
rm -rf *thing in the wrong directory๐ฑ
Did not take out the server but did take out one of those legacy Cron jobs that's been running for years but no-one quite remembers how it works and it turns out it was not being backed up (that was a fun additional realisation) and kinda sorta really important.
Eek.
Just spent the last few hours surgically reinstating the code from and out of date backup.
Fingers crossed.
