True, not the correct tone.

The code quality seemed low and to me it was negligence and a disservice to the employer that had to compromise their reliability for quite a long time and spend significant effort root causing the problem.

I hope I wasn't out of line by vouching the comment to reply to it. I see it is dead again, but I think maybe a lesson was learned? Anyway, thanks for keeping HN's discussions at such an exceptional level. There really is nowhere else like it that I'm aware of.
