I can't imagine putting someone who's new to this work in that kind of precarious position. If I let someone make a mistake that severe, I'd apologize to them and work with them through the solution and safeguards to prevent it from happening again.

A little bit of room for error is essential for learning, but this is insane. I'm so glad the only person who has ever put me in that kind of position is me, haha. This career would have seemed so much scarier if the people I worked with early on were willing to trust me with such terrifying error margins.
