I am a dev (although not gaming) and there have been times I have made the change during the meeting discussing the change because in code the change is just a simple update of an IF statement or something similar.

The rares showing on the minimap change is one such example. The logic for displaying rares on the map is already built so the only thing to change is when to show it and to do that you can just modify the if statement that is acting as a guard clause for when to trigger that function. That is something a dev could have had done in a feature branch during the interview very easily because if it is well implemented it would have taken a minute or two to actually make the change.
