rand() will be infrequent < 10 (at least ten in 2^15 times, if not exponentially more), so automated tests are likely to pass. If they don’t, they’re likely to pass on the second try, and then everyone shrugs and continues. If it’s buried in 500 other lines, then it’s likely the code reviewer will give it all a quick scan and say “it’s fine”. It’s the three line diffs that get lots of scrutiny.
In other words, you seem to have a lot more faith in the process than I do.
No, you can’t assume that. The probability of hitting the condition each time is low. If there aren’t very many calls that hit this, it could easily slip through. Especially on 64-bit int platforms.
This wouldn’t pass PR review and automated tests, unless they were a senior dev and used elevated privileges to mess with things behind the scenes.
It’s bold to assume those exist. Maybe there’s a reason the coworker left

SVN has legit use cases still though. Git LFS is not or just barely supported in a lot of industries.

you’d be surprised what slips through review
Yeah but even a single automated test would catch it and reject the PR. You just need a single test.
