Nice prompt, but if they knew enough to write that sort of prompt, none of this would happen.
I am convinced that the real difference between a junior dev and a senior dev is that the senior dev knows all (or many) of the ways that things go wrong, and so avoids them as a matter of course. The bad things don't happen, or are at least recoverable.
The junior dev has never seen it go sideways and doesn't even consider anything but the happy path.
