Couldn't figure out which category to put this in so I put it here.
Today, the Product Owner stumbled across a feature that was working correctly, but should not have been.
A Yes/No button was defaulting to 'Yes'. It was eventually supposed to be implemented that way, but no one was assigned to work on it and we could find no record of a developer having added the feature. Tech Lead confirmed that it was inadvertently operating correctly, despite not being configured to do so.I mused that, like the one-in-a-million genetic mutation that's beneficial, this was a one-in-a million bug that actually made the software more functional.
