Just amazed that ‘better testing’ isn’t one of the takeaways in the summary.

Just amazed. Yea ‘write code carefully’ as if suggesting that’ll fix it is a rookie mistake.

So so frustrating when developers treat user machines like their test bed!

Good on them. Most companies would cap their responsibility at a refund of their own service's fees, which is understandable as you can't really predict costs incurred by those using your service, but this is going above and beyond and it's great to see.
