    I don't think I can add panic management as a defect to the project. Yes it is a defect but panic management would get upset to be called that...

    The current problem is that panic management have brought in new developers who have been asked and let loose to fix stuff without the core understanding of how the system is supposed to work.

    They fix 1 item and suddenly something somewhere else stops working.... Downside is that its the code I wrote last week that no longer works and its rather core to a particular thing working....

    You should count yourself lucky. Here other bits of code doesn't work, and when the developers have fixed their bit, the other bits of code still don't work
