Ask HN: Have you directly authored a high-profile massive bug? How does it feel?

1•ctxc•1h ago
I know _everyone_ has been the author of various colorful bugs.

But I keep thinking how the author of the Cloudflare's Rust unwrap code feels right now. Yes, processes should have prevented it and so on, but...have any of you been directly involved in a similar high profile bug?

How does it feel months/years later, do you find yourself thinking about it? Do coworkers know about it, how does your environment change?
