I don’t think it was intended to be sensationalist, just a pun with the words. It’s one of those non-issue stories that are sort of tongue in cheek so the writer has a bit of fun.
I think most outlets have pretty much given up writing anything serious about Apple based alarm issues as they’ve been a thing for years (whether it’s user error or otherwise), hence why this one in particular is just quoting people on TikTok of all places.
That entirely depends on how well code reviews are managed. I’ve worked with a “Martin” in the past and we did manage to move to a system where 2+ reviewers were required but it simply got to the point where no one would “rock the boat” because he’d simply brush off every comment made, or call you up to have a long rambling conversation as to why he made the decision he did and how you’re wrong and he’s right, and given his position in the company you couldn’t complain to anyone else about him because he was more valuable to them than you were.
We tried to put more and more blockers in front of him to attempt to encourage him to play nicer, but these were only temporary solutions to the bigger problem of “Martin” himself.
Oh no so am I, but I’ve seen enough of these stories in the past to know it’s a common occurrence ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
