I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.

I DID accidentally push to master, and had to ask for help backing it out 🙇🏻♀️.
So now I always push with
git push origin <branch-name>, even if there are shorter ways.I've been using git for what seems like a hundred years, and I still do that. Not only does it mean you're absolutely sure what you're doing, but if you scroll back up or look in your history to see what you did yesterday, it's explicit.

but this also teaches a lot about git, right? I learned how to organize my commits and used
git resetthis month, it was exciting :D
