Opening my own profile page causes a "Something bad happened!" error

Question

Attempting to navigate to my own profile page on any site in the network throws an error.

Here's a .gif for full disclosure:

Navigating to anyone else's profile page is fine, though.

Did someone break the "Don't deploy on Friday" rule?

I can reproduce on my account, but going to Spevacus's (meta.stackexchange.com/users/622284/spevacus) works fine, then breaks if I switch to the "Activity" tab. — terdon, Commented Jun 5, 2020 at 16:09
I've reproduced on my own account (using Firefox on Windows). — Rand al'Thor, Commented Jun 5, 2020 at 16:09
Same symptoms here - only seen on Meta SE so far, can visit my profile on other sites without issue. — motosubatsu, Commented Jun 5, 2020 at 16:10
Now also reproduced on my own account and another user's account on Science Fiction & Fantasy. — Rand al'Thor, Commented Jun 5, 2020 at 16:12
@JanWichelmann Yep - happening on other network sites now (Have tried SO, TWP and MedSci SE) — motosubatsu, Commented Jun 5, 2020 at 16:14
The issue here is the Activity tab, not the profile itself. Navigating to your own profile automatically puts you on the Activity tab. — Vogel612's Shadow, Commented Jun 5, 2020 at 16:16
@Vogel612'sShadow Looks like it - if I navigate to another user's Activity tab it breaks — motosubatsu, Commented Jun 5, 2020 at 16:16
We're investigating. It's widespread across all profile pages. — Taryn, Commented Jun 5, 2020 at 16:17
@Taryn seems fixed now. I can see my own on MSE and SO again. — TylerH, Commented Jun 5, 2020 at 16:22

We pushed a change out that was behind a feature flag. Unfortunately, we missed a page that needed to check for that setting...the profile page.

We've rolled back the build in the meantime, while we fix the issue.

Thanks for the report.
