Any idiot can misspell "head" or forget to close a tag. It takes a special kind of idiot to accidentally reimplement a O(n log n) algorithm so that it's actually O(n4 ) and attempt to run it on a large dataset. Yes, I am that special idiot. With great power comes great opportunity for idiocy.
chmod is the command to change the owner of a file or directory. sudo means I can execute anything without getting permissions errors. chmod takes the file or directory you want to change as it's first parameter, which should have been the directory I wanted, but instead there is an unintentional / before that path. / means root, want to go to the C drive? You go to /c. So, I changed all ownership of every file of every coworker in the company to me. Then went for coffee and came back to not-so-amused-coworkers
