> understandable software error that any professional software engineer could have made

Not really, no. I never heard, seen or experienced such an issue in any work environment. I did see it happen among wordpress level websites tho.

It’s stupidly common with “distributed micro services systems” that do a lot of caching.

Last year Klarna logged people in into other accounts because of some stupid caching issue too.

I don't to digress too much but I strongly belive y'all need to review your approach to caching. This kind of stuff is literarly unheard of among competent engineers. No insult meant, but this is hilarious.
