I wonder how much of this was just somebody fat-fingering a "Publish Now" button instead of a "Save Draft for the scheduled publish later" button. (And then getting fired over it.)

I'm reminded of the hawaii nuclear alert ui, and I know I've built my fair share of not-great-to-use quickly-coded admin UIs over the years.

I don't think the issue is the fact it was published early, i think it's more to do with having the numbers early.

As i'm sure you know reporting restrictions are heavily regulated, a random tech editor shouldn't have this data before investors.
