> Was there really no internal discussion from a code review at least? This seems hard for me to believe.

The outlined story feels unfortunately very believable to me.

Teams need to push out the most number of features, and nobody stops even for a second to think about how a feature might affect other flows or other users not in the feature request.

It might have been quickly reviewed to check if the code does what it needs to do (add the coauthor note).

Do you think reviewers will think about unwanted effects, when they need get back to feeding their own poorly thought out and underspec’d features to their LLMs?
