When faced with amateurish bugs in FAANG software I like to wonder what that engineer's salary is.

To be fair, it's not just that one engineer's fault, there's a whole systemic failure there. Where was QA? Where was their manager? Etc.
Then you wonder what the manager’s salary is. And their manager. And eventually the profit margin.
Today I'm trying my best no to scream at someone because we have a logging function (yep, a custom log function) that is writing to a file. The logging function open and closes the file on each call.
I hope that's a leftover of a hastly debugging session udner pressure of time.
Software "engineering" :)
