There are several reasons why you should not feel guilty. The company was asking for trouble and you just happen to be the trigger. These are the three top things that could prevented that incident.

1) A cron job for the manually task you were doing.

2) Not working directly on production.

3) Having daily backups

And this could happened to anybody. After midnight any of us are at junior level and very prone to do this kind of mistakes.



Hopefully prioritized in reverse order


Touché! I didn't intended to prioritize my list but you are right :)
