You forgot to take into consideration that they were French unit tests - and as usual, they were on strike.

We French unit tests merely rose a (white) flag here.

Just blame the closest, innocent, programmer.
Works for me.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I did it once for a name change. They wanted to rename an internal project, including filenames, strings, menus, resources, and everything else that had the old name. My project lead didn't think I'd get it to work on the first try. Glad I was able to prove him wrong.

I did that once to change an upper case M to a lower case m in a product name, when the bastitches who requested the change were the ones who spelled it wrong in the first place.

I did that the day before yesterday, made changes in about 120 files and committed. A few minutes later someone behind me is banging their head on the table why the page isn't working. Looked like I missed a few .cshtml references.
But I think I'm just confident of my skills

Apparently your files have too many lines of code.

There's nothing "apparent" about it.
You know how these things go: you start off well, and then generations of changes with lots of "I'll clean that up later" mean things get a little messy.
sigh.

Yes, I do know.
Now, it's time to clean up, apparently.

believe in yourself: as long as it compiles - surely your code must be ok.
next step is delegation - get a junior to fix the tests [results].

That's my normal state. However, I've come to realize that what the rest of the world considers reasonable is actually quite unreasonable.

But that's what unit tests are for -to destroy your serene view of reality. You should be celebrating!
