Within my first 6 months at a FAANG, I accidentally took down our service for half the world for 30-60 minutes.

That was honestly one of the best things that could’ve happened to me and I still use the story for new hires to this day. It’s a very humbling reminder that nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes. And I’m still here, so it’s never the end of the world.
