Congrats for the bug fixed! I know how this kind of bug can be really hard. For a company. Less so for "an outsider", just like the author suggests.
I can easily see this happening in literally any company. We humans are very adaptable creatures, we get accustomed to things and just accept them as they are. In my company I preach for razing the flags and looking for things that just don't look right, and we generally do so indeed, but I am pretty sure that for an outsider some acceptable "features" will look very questionable. Rule of thumb I use sometimes: does it feel awkward to answer some of the newcomers’ questions? Independently of their experience, newcomers always ask very good questions.

Serenity Prayer comes to mind:
> God, give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
> Courage to change the things I can,
> and Wisdom to know the difference.
- Loughla 3y agoI have the full version of the serenity prayer as a cross stitch framed in my office. >God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, >The courage to change the things I am able, >The wisdom to know the difference, >And the ability to destroy all of the evidence of the inevitable murder, should the first three fail.
