Except that wasn't a programming glitch, it was an operations glitch. They accidentally deployed a test trading partner for their real trading app to the real world.
But when a programmer I accidentally promotes test code to production, it's just an accident.
That is exactly the point the OP that I replied to was trying to make.
When someone else fucks they are stupid and they don’t know what they are doing, but when the coders fuck up it's always someone else that is at fault. Please give me a break!
Do you have a citation for this? I saw a lot of speculation at the time but nothing that was ever corroborated.
