> Just because someone once committed a broken build, doesn’t mean I’ll never again trust them with access.

I don't think this analogy is useful. An error in execution can be quite different in an error in judgement.

To offer an alternative example: a contractor decides to publish the source code to a company's closed-source software, so that they can use it as evidence of their work for their next job application.

> It’s argubly more like “sorry for being a moron, but I hear you. Please give us another chance”?

When these kinds of bad judgement happen, the person normally loses some decision-making power to stop it from happening again. This is in noticeable contrast to Triplebyte here: an apology as a PR exercise, and no material change to prevent it in future.
