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.

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)
