View submission: Massive Failure on the Product

View parent comment

I don't feel like this is an edge case, tho.

They know they have registered and guest email addresses, this should have been considered and planned into the tests.

Whilst I agree that edge cases can be overlooked, a guest user is not a sudden new thing.

OP shouldn't shoulder any blame in this. As a junior and as an FE, this wasn't their place to plan.

This is a failing of the product team, project manager, senior devs, and data team.

Fair enough.

To me its a bit of a wonky edge case because I don't know that I'd mix guest and actual users in the dB. I might not even persist them but just used some kind of long lived session.
