One time I did `apt-get upgrade` on debian and my terminal stopped rendering text. And when I restarted my computer it couldn't find the boot partition.

Debian likes update foreplay before going straight to upgrade
Yes, also anytime serious warnings are issued to you from apt before an upgrade is a bit of a quick scare
when I was learning linux I just make sudo chmod 777 -R / to stop asking for folder permission and corrupt the system, I became unable to shutdown using the system or connect pendrive
Reminds me of that time that I deleted an iSCSI disk (disk no. 5) and then disks no. 6, 7 and 8 for some reason were renamed automatically, on-the-fly, to no. 5, 6 and 7. Fileserver started writing to the mailserver disk, mailserver started writing to a webserver disk, etc. Shit was beyond repair and I spent much of the weekend doing disaster recovery
This was also the weekend I was taught the disadvantage of RAID 5 the hard way (it's slowwww 🐌), RAID 10 ftw
lol that sounds extremely painful
nodejs isn't the nightmare it was 6 years ago but it's still pretty nasty, i mostly don't have any problems these days, but back then, endless problems with dependencies in NPM and version this and polyfill that
Yeah, it's marginally better, but now the complexity comes from the million different toolchains that arose in an attempt to fix the require/esm compatibility stuff, plus typescript
