My bug was the result of a dumb mistake, unlikely to have been made by others. So, I wonder if this is actually a useful discussion?
I could, on purpose, create bugs in code that pass the HackerRank test cases, but fail examples I create to try against the bugs.
If there are bugs that exist but are not caught by HackerRank's test cases, is that a shortcoming of those sets of test cases? Do we expect HackerRank to create new test cases everytime someone reports a test case that caused a program to fail when they ran it, but was not detected by HackerRank? If Yes, some could start a new hobby of creating bugs that HackerRank's test cases don't catch, and expecting HackerRank to spend time creating more test cases.
