Did they had to pay interests or penalties? I work in insurance in Brazil, and here the insurance company has to pay 30 days after it received the documentation for the claim, if they don’t pay they have to pay 1% interest rate monthly and monetary correction (inflation). Sometimes we just pay even suspecting fraud because the risk of losing a long judicial process is not worth.
In my pass job I was a business intelligence analysist in an insurance company, and my boss came to me and told me to take my computer and go to some conference room. There was one of the managers of legal affairs and she ask me to do look up something on the database, pretty regular job that is usually a ticket but ok, so I did her queries when suddenly they went a direction they don’t normally go and asked me to join the table with the employees database and do a pivot table for employee and count of lines and there was this lady with like 95% of the count, the manager asked me to send her that table and told me that she already knew it was her, but needed the evidence to HR. One week later the lady was fired and I still feel uncomfortable about that. Later I read some essay about abstraction, and how upper you go on the corporate chain, people gradually stop being humans to be just numbers, but for me, that day, my work had a name and a direct consequence that I can’t abstract from.

They actually used red tape for that, and this is why burocracy is called red tape, because they had to fill paperwork everytime a code change was needed or reversed.
Ah fuck, this happened me with the Chainladder library. Had to modify the source code to change the M to ME.

Easy, pens, eraser, tape and writing comments on the card
And Claude, off course.
The best is when the version also had the name of an ex employee on it.
At least they were humble and didn’t blame it entirely on Cursor… they also blamed Claude.
In my past life, I worked as Data Manager in a movie, at the lunch break, everyone would smoke pot as if nothing. I couldn’t do it because I can’t use computers while high.
