I saw the title and was about to start calling bullshit but then I actually read it and it's honestly the most adorable and wholesome thing. Her patch is greatly needed, and is critically important. I can't believe that such a major bug was missed by the dev team.

For one second I thought this was, like, Euler’s second coming with a child just looking at code and being like:“Huh, so thats programming? Btw. you made an whoopsie there! frantically pointing”
somewhere there are such geniuses undiscovered because they were born in the wrong place and in an unfavorable configuration. that hurts us all more than we’ll ever know.
