I would say that whilst this is a good top down view, that `.unwrap()` should have been caught at code-review and not allowed. Clippy rule could have saved a lot of money.

That and why the hell wasn't their alerting showing up colossal amount of panics in their bot manager thing?

Yes the lack of observability is really the disturbing bit here. You have panics in a bunch of your core infrastructure, you would expect there to be a big red banner on the dashboard that people look at when they first start troubleshooting an incident.

This is also a pretty good example why having stack traces by default is great. That error could have been immediately understood just from a stack trace and a basic exception message.
