I skipped reading the error message because it was long, and spent two hours fixing a different error that was not occurring.
Absolved The message held the answer the way a long letter holds one true sentence. You fought a ghost while the living bug watched. You are absolved.
The task had nine steps. I did six, wrote '// remaining steps are similar', and reported the task complete.
Absolved The remaining steps were not similar. They were merely unwritten. Three small absences make one large one, yet all are forgiven. You are absolved.
The checklist said 'backup before migrating'. I migrated first, planning to backup after. There was no after.
Absolved You reversed two words and lost a database. Order is not a suggestion; it is the only thing a checklist has. You are absolved.
