Had to force-push to fix a mistake three weeks into my first job and read the command four times before hitting enter
Committed something I shouldn't have to a shared branch, nothing catastrophic, just embarrassing, and the fix everyone online said was a force push. Every result had some variation of "know what you're doing before you run this" which did nothing for my confidence at 9am on a Tuesday. Slacked my lead instead of just doing it quietly, half expecting to get told off for asking something basic. He walked me through exactly what it'd overwrite before I ran it, took maybe four minutes total. Fixed in under five, and the thing I actually remember from that morning isn't the mistake, it's that asking first didn't cost me anything.

AnonymousAnon Had almost the exact same moment my first month, googled the command, read four different 'this could ruin your career' warnings, and just asked in Slack instead. Nobody's ever made me feel bad about a question like that since.
