If I'm ever feeling a bout of imposter syndrome, or feel like I've screwed up (e.g. with a bug deployed to production), I like to remember the time that an outsourcing company failed to provide enough security guards for the London Olympics and the gap had to be made up by the Royal Marines and paratroopers.
None of my mistakes have involved the armed forces being deployed.
