I thought an onosecond was a quadrillionth of a second or some microscopic fraction like that

Been there done that once – I was 22. Recently a young lad mechanic screwed up something on my car and it was bad – I told the boss he shouldn’t worry or discipline the lad because the lad already felt so bad he’d never ever do that again in his life. He was so grateful !!!

I thought the typo was forgetting the 'n' in 'nanosecond'

I nearly lost the data on my external hard drive recently after it was accidentally reformatted. The data was still there but computer wouldn’t recognise it. Thankfully a computer repair store recovered the data and I now store it on SSD’s instead.

What I thought was going to happen was, — would get replaced by <hr>, but also on that page, making <hr> get replaced by <hr>, causing a feedback loop making everything crash or smth

seeing tom genuinely get stressed and anxious just from recounting this story is insane. if the actual situation wasn't already enough, that really shows people who can't/don't program like myself how bad this was

I used to play 'stump the chump' in college classes for programming. Got a group stuck for over an hour because I replaced a single lowercase 'L' with a '1'. Sometimes you just have to pretend you don't notice the simple things and exercise caution

I just tried typing "qna" but somehow accidentally typed "pna" even though q and p are the 2 furthest possible letters on a keyboard

This is why when I have a lot of code, I copy it to a "beta" version, and copy the release version if something goes horribly wrong.
