Linux sysadmin horror story

I did the thing....the rm -rf * thing in the wrong directory

😱

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Just spent the last few hours surgically reinstating the code from and out of date backup.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.
