I guess he was ready to play.
PSA: I'm probably old enough to be your father, let me have my terrible jokes/puns.

I can imagine what they felt like. Like when you accidentally hit "reply all" and send a porn link that was in your clipboard to your entire company while you meant to paste something else.
So... What link did you send?
I'm guessing furries.
My dad did something similar. My mother in law pointed it out and giggled. I facepalmed
tl;dr there were two leaks: A Microsoft employee had compiler issues and attached the code to a publicly-visible bug report, and Microsoft's public symbol server had debug symbols for the library (which makes it a lot easier to reverse engineer and debug the production build in a debugger).
Did the employee that accidentally leaked it think that the public developer community was an internal bug tracker? Strange. I wonder if Microsoft do actually use the same site for both internal and external bugs and the employee just selected the wrong category when posting. Seems like an unnecessary risk.
“accidentally” 😉
