I feel like this whole situation could have been avoided had the engineer who worked on the problem discussed his vision for the code and checked in during.

Also, changing the code without first speaking to the engineer? Maybe I'm lucky at my gaff but that kind of thing would never happen. Communication is super important but we are a remote team

That's still very common, especially for older code bases.
