A career ending mistake -- Bitfield Consulting
This isn't about the time I inadvertently shut down one of Britain's nuclear power stations, an entirely true story for which the world is nevertheless not yet prepared. Nor is it about the poor junior developer who accidentally destroyed the production database on their first day (they'll be fine, bless them). Instead, I want to talk about another kind of career ending mistake, one that affects more than just the unlucky few. By "the end", I don't necessarily mean picking your retirement date. What we're really talking about is the aim or goal of your career.
