I believe the yellow card/penalty are still reasonable. To debug your code isn't too much to ask for. Also, if you get in someone's way, be it intentional or not, and you gain an advantage (or they lose an advantage), then it should be penatized. Should their programmer's hard work be negated because your programmer made a mistake?
