Discussion on question by Danubian Sailor: Could producing a grave bug that made headlines make you unemployable?

Speaking as a manager that has hired people I think the question is irrelevant to whether or not the person has the skillset needed for the job. This falls more into the class of "morality" questions given to a candidate. With this Log4shell issue if I had that person in front of me as a potential candidate and I knew they were involved, I would most likely ask them "so what were your feelings when the Log4J vulnerability was published" HOW they responded would be the dealbreaker or not

@GregoryCurrie it's not a "bug:, it's a requested feature; here's the request: LOG4J2-313, courtesy a Cloudfare article describing the history. It worked fine and "as intended" for years.

I remember someone saying to me like this "Fire you because you make a mistake that costs x amount of money? that means we just trained you, costing that amount of money, and to just let you go after that equals wasting that amount of money for nothing"
