  • Was relocating a $10k piece of networking hardware and dropped it into another 10k VM server. Server was fine, network hardware was not. It was during a project that was a real mess, thought it was a stupid mistake though.

    We were able to work around it, though we did lose the contract we were trying to make. Honestly though given how rushed and panicked that whole three months was though, we were lucky nobody suffered anything worse. Real shitshow.

    If a being is in a situation where it’s unable to escape or respond to things done to it, over time it’ll often stop attempting to do so, even when the situation changes.

    An example being an elephant not trying to rip out a chain from a wood post because it didn’t work when it was a baby. It can easily escape now, but it still thinks it’s trapped.

    It’s a similar thing with humans sometimes, it’s hard to thrive and prosper when all your brain can think about is how to prevent past trauma from reoccurring, that they don’t deserve a better life, or even that self improvement isn’t possible.
