I did that recently, and then did the stupid thing of telling others of how stupid I am.

Pro-Tip: Everyone fucks up, the best thing to do in this post-truth world is to literally go play golf and pretend the fuckup wasn't wholly yours ^["where was the initial feedback? the oversight? who validated your changes?"], and if they try to give you grief over it pretend they're giving you a light hazing and move on to actionable points to rectify it, whilst slightly passive-aggressively telegraphing that anyone getting emotional over it has never spilled milk before.

It's shitty and dishonest and you'll feel like a mixture of Donald Trump and Larry David, but it genuinely does work in getting people off your back
