YOU have no idea what would have happened because you are ignorant about how software works. Those of us who worked the problem were VERY aware of what was wrong. We knew! And, no, no one got any extra money to fix the software, although some of the programmers at my lab got modest bonuses for putting in long, unpaid hours. The small bonuses were probably equivalent to pennies per hour for all that stressful work. This was not a money grab.
