How not to fix a compilation error

Step 1. Once you think you've identified the problem and come up with a fix, forget to check it and declare the problem fixed.
Step 2. Apply your fix to the public repository and break functionality for everyone else.
Step 3. Declare you fix to the world.
Step 4. Once someone has pointed this out to you, take your time trying to figure out what went wrong.
Step 5. After confirming that you actually have a fix this time. Push your changes globally yet again.
Step 7. Look for any code which needs to be cleaned up after the fact and make changes as necessary.
Step 8. BONUS: Repeat step 7 as necessary to artificially inflate your commit count.
