Ok, stop the guilt tripping right now. You did your best, and those
"other people" for which you broke things did not exactly go out of
their way to provide early feedback. We have several mechanical checks
and balances exactly because our human reviews leave a lot to be
desired. A year or two ago, master would get broken about once a month
and stay that way for about a day, with tempers rising and
finger-pointing.
Similar mistakes still happen (though less often), but our mechanisms
just stop the pipelines to master until stuff gets cleaned up in
staging.
