I once watched an engineer blow up a $200k prototype with a terminal alias.
I once worked with someone who accidentally deleted our company’s entire Git server. We had backups thankfully, but they were nearly a week old.
Thank the gods for git being distributed, so the vast majority of the work from the last week was recoverable because it was on someone’s machine locally.
The real metric is dollars per second of destroyed hardware ;)

That’s impressive. I’m glad I don’t have any story to match that. Hopefully they find it hilarious now. Probably no fun at the time.
