Just realized my shortcut with drive formats was a bad idea

I always used quick format to save time on customer PCs. After a drive failed and we lost data, I saw the problem. Now I do full formats for important systems. It takes longer but prevents headaches. Feeling good about sticking to this new rule.

Mistakes teaching us what shortcuts not to take is just how life works. That lesson sticks with you way longer than the time you saved.

Yeah, learned that one the hard way too.

But some shortcuts are worth the risk if you learn from them.
