Once I was programming a fintech solution for a big client. Someone way back when made an error in how numbers (money, cents) are to be rounded up or down. When you had to create a new feature that handled money, you had to reproduce that bug (since users got used to the math being wrong)
I mean, it happens to all of us. Just the other day I was working on letting users change the font in an app and I accidentally made it so they needed to enter a valid credit card number to log in, complete with detailed instructions, and then accidentally charged them $20.
Not sure how any of that happened. I’ll definitely get around to disabling it soon though, I promise.

Thats a very elaborate, specific bug that just so coincidentally happens to be monetarily beneficial to the developer/publisher.

Ah, so true. How could I have overlooked this?
