I did. :)

Beginners learning along the way do not run businesses. I wouldn't
hire someone to build me a porch if he admits that he's still learning
which end of the hammer to hit with. (That's understandable if it's a
PHP hammer with claws on both ends, but I still wouldn't hire him.)
And if I hired someone to build that porch and only afterward
discovered that he didn't know a screw from a nail, I would be pretty
miffed. Nikos, you are that carpenter.

There's nothing wrong with being a beginner. We all start out that
way. But a beginner plays with things that don't have major
consequence. If you didn't have paying customers, you would not need
to worry about what I might have done; at very worst, you just wipe
the system and reinstall. (You DO have basic firewalling to make sure
I can't damage any other box, right?) And even more so, if you didn't
have paying customers, you would not be in a tizz about things. You
could simply set the matter aside and come back later. This is safe.

Don't do what you wouldn't stand for someone else doing.
