First month on the job in tech, I kept getting this error. And every time, I nervous sweat a little more.
Until finally, I couldn& #39;t take it anymore. I slunk to my would-be mentor& #39;s cubicle, and blurted out an apology, a confession & a question.
"WHO is this being reported to??"

He laughed.
Very, very hard.
"You. It& #39;s you, Jacquie. On your VM. No one else would have known"

I was learning how to use a "config management" tool called SaltStack.
The two seniors had many a conversation around it that sat in on, and once I lost it laughing because whenever they talked all I could picture was this but with env labels taped on their foreheads.

Anyway. I promise we& #39;re still on topic.
Knowing that only I would see the silly mistakes I was making really boosted my confidence. I felt UNSTOPPABLE.
Right up until the moment I sudo removed every user across my small vm cluster from the sudoers file.

I tried everything I could think of to fix the problem.
“Username is not in the sudoers file.
This incident will be reported”
I no longer feared the incident report, but I had not yet learned to use github or similar. I feared for the one version that had worked.

So I once again slunk over to his cubicle.
"Hi, I think I sudo& #39;d away sudo...??"
"what"
"Like I might have used SaltStack to sudo away all the sudoers by accident. The internet told me it was best to not give everyone sudo"

Cue second bout of laughter and a "oh no, you& #39;ll need to remake the VMs"
"WHAT. I can& #39;t fix this??"
"not if no one can sudo"
FWIW I still sometimes shout SUPER USER DOOOOO while using sudo.

Anyway, I mourned my carefully crafted VMs and started over.
Imagine my excitement and frustration when MONTHS later, another dev introduced me to my first Source Code Management tool.
