If I were forced to pick, I'd say it was caused by an inexperienced programmer using AI that caused this.

    It's never just the developer that's the problem. There should be a system in place to catch obvious bugs like this before they get anywhere near production. So there's something not right in the company's review and testing practices. And a bug like this, if it does sneak through, should be fixed very quickly. This has been up for a while so again there's a problem with the company's processes.

    I've met a lot of really shitty developers.
