Oh yes, the amount of times I rolled back a change during an outage that had nothing to do with the outage...
It's a critical skill for engineers: being able to critically reason, debug and "test in isolation" any changes that address outages. Much harder than it seems and typically a "senior" skill to have.
That's essentially on call 101, you try to mitigate as fast as possible and root cause later when you are not half asleep. Surprised to see some comments here.
