Back when I was learning to program with Java 1.0 (using the AWT, no Swing) I made a text editor that supported syntax highlighting. My first big mistake was to open my text editor's source code with my fledgling text editor and attempt to make a minor tweak, only to discover that saving had a bug and wiped out my entire program.
No I did not have any source control at the time. I just started over.
