I'm a some-time Django developer and... I caught the bug instantly. Once I saw it was model/ORM code it was the first thing I looked for.

I say that not to brag because (a) default args is a known python footgun area already and (b) I'd hope most developers with any real Django or SQLAlchemy experience would have caught this pretty quick. I guess I'm just suggesting that maybe domain experience is actually worth something?

I've since moved on to primarily working with Java, so it's been a few years since working with Django on a daily basis and the default still jumped out to me immediately. Experience and domain knowledge is so important, especially when you need to evaluate ChatGPT's code for quality and correctness.

Also, where were their tests in the first place? Or am I expecting too much there?

I missed it, because I was really confused what the models were doing: why is there an id and a subscription_id? Are the user_id fields related?
