What is the most painful programming mistake you have done and what lesson you have learn after?

I guess mine was making a release to production on the development code which was not tested yet.

The lesson-learned:

Delete any projects that can trigger a release on the live application from CCTray. I only add them when a release to production is necessary since then. And once I am done, I delete them from my project lists.
