My intent was not to blame the developer, I'm aware of the context they work in and as you have guessed correctly our engineering process is fucked up in many way.
The developer writing the correct implementation was just the earliest point where it could have been avoided in this case, I didn't want to frame it as the developer's fault, but simply wanted to say that some algorithmic knowledge still comes in handy.
My original comment wasn't clear enough about this I confess.
