So do like you would in old-school, have a staging/testing environment. Nice thing about automation, is you can just rebuild that easily to a clean state, rather than having to remember how staging is different from prod. And as you write your automation and find those human errors, you put it in code so that you don't forget a step. Nothing more frustrating than thinking you've solved the problem in staging only to run a command in prod that breaks things more, and in a different way, because it turns out the fix was a combination of earlier experimentation plus the command you just ran.
