You know, I remember reading years ago that during the launch preparation for Apollo 16(?), they did a routine pressure test of the Command Module atop the rocket a few days before launch. The technician in charge made the simple error of forgetting to open a pressure release valve during the test which lead to an overpressurisation of the CM causing significant damage, including separation of the heat shield.
The ENTIRE Saturn 5 rocket had to be wheeled back to the hangar and the CM dismantled and rebuilt, resulting in a month long delay in the launch.
When the Apollo launchpad manager was asked if he had fired the technician in question, then answer was allegedly "Nope. He is the one guy on the next launch team that I know will NEVER make the same mistake again."
I am willing to bet that Gitlab is now a company that will never slacken off their backup checking in the future.
