Almost wrecked my portfolio with a bad git push last week
Pushed a half-finished feature to production on accident. Took me 4 hours to roll back and fix everything. Anybody else got horror stories from rushing commits?

Pushed a half-finished feature to production on accident" - what kind of feature was it? Like was it a button that just didn't work or something that actually broke the site for real users? If it was just visual stuff then the rollback probably wasn't that bad, but if it messed with data or payments that's a whole different level of stress.

Nah, I gotta disagree a bit here. Even a half-finished visual thing can be a nightmare if it's user-facing, like a broken checkout button or something that makes the site look untrustworthy. You lose real money and trust way faster than people realize, even if no data gets corrupted. Don't you think a bad first impression from a glitchy feature can be just as damaging as a backend screw-up?
