The title [of the linked article] is unfortunate clickbait. The interesting aspects (if the article is correct) are that:
* A single pseudonymous jr engineer (3 years graduated from Rutgers) is making edits to the Treasury department payments system.
* The new code is being deployed directly to production rather than going through the regular release cycle (dev, staging, etc).
* There are no tests.
It almost doesn't matter what the code does.
