You knew approximately nothing about the task you're about to undertake, but you proceed anyway? This is hubris at best, and while it may fly in the software world (oh no, I bricked the computer!) with little consequence, in the real world you can do some real damage or seriously hurt yourself.
It's wild to me someone would do zero research and just blunder onwards like that. Holesaw through a bathroom wall without checking what's in there? Lucky not to have hit electrical, or better yet, a water line. Best part is, all you needed was a keyhole saw to manually cut each layer of drywall on either side, having first traced the outline.
What did you learn? Not the key lesson apparently -- research and learn about the task and its context before taking it on.
I had generally the same thought, but it was more the lack of Recognition that “oh this actually isn’t like all the other projects I’ve done, maybe I’ll ask someone for help…”
