As a side note, I've long advocated developers use checklists during releases and more involved git tasks. Why? The cost of using a checklist is minimal-- maybe a few moments glancing at a sheet of paper. The upside is huge though, since you can avoid catastrophic error.

I was fortunate enough to earn my wings before becoming a developer, and as lame as it sounds, learning when and where to use checklists is one of the best lessons I learned.
