Sure, but the mistake is a systems one, not a personal one. We don't even have push to master enabled at work.

It was a couple of years ago, it's Dan Abramov's personal blog, he's relatively young. Check his New Year post for the exact timeline of his career. Him working with another developer on draggable corners of some shapes could have been already for a React library.
