We had a service window to do some sort of migration involving a DB, very late at night. I had been up all day working, short walk, dinner, then around 11pm this service window started.
My eyelids were heavy, I almost fell asleep in the video call. I should have admitted this, we could have re-scheduled.
I ended up doing a bash for loop that dropped every single table in a production database, and this data was sometimes queried by law enforcement so we had a legal requirement to keep it for 6 months.
We could restore a backup but there was data missing, so for 6 months we prayed no one would request the missing date ranges.
I'll pick the one that did the most damage.
