Here some more information about what really went down, technically, behind the scenes: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/jan/09/how-the-post...

"One member of the development team, David McDonnell, who had worked on the Epos system side of the project, told the inquiry that “of eight [people] in the development team, two were very good, another two were mediocre but we could work with them, and then there were probably three or four who just weren’t up to it and weren’t capable of producing professional code”."

(Just in case somebody says I am putting blame on developers) Obviously, the responsibility is firmly on management. People making code bugs should not be held responsible for other people going to prison for it.
