'“How screwed am I?” asked a recent user on Reddit, before sharing a
mortifying story. On the first day as a junior software developer at a
first salaried job out of college, his or her copy-and-paste error
inadvertently erased all data from the company’s production database.'

How (not) to handle human mistakes.

i didn't read the article, cause i'm lazy 'n all..... but if it's possible for
a someone in such a junior position to do such damage accidentally with a basic
procedure, surely that's on the company for being boneheads for having such an
insecure system?

Yeah, that's what pretty much everyone else has been saying also.  :)
