That screams: Open you source code and accepted correction !

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 10 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It screams made-up internet story.

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 4 points 5 months ago

It screams both!

It's an old joke.

Let the patch be part of the code for one or two minor releases. Then revert the changes of the patch.

Always love this one, I'd do the same but there's to many fucking things to fix.

It seems like I'm constantly finding bugs in businesses' apps. Do they not have people test them?

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 37 points 6 months ago

They do, and they have a backlog of hundreds of issues to fix and they must prioritise then. If fixing a bug doesn't make money, it's not priority.

[–] example@reddthat.com 31 points 6 months ago

sure they do, you're one of them

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 19 points 6 months ago

As someone in the dev team for a "business app", we probably know about most or all of them, but they're just not important enough for anyone in management to prioritize them as part of a sprint. It's also possible no one has given us reproducible steps to make them happen, so we just straight up don't know what to fix. Usually the former though.

they test them...

Whether they do anything with that testing is another story,.

[–] chocoladisco@feddit.de 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

We are supposed to be testing them? /s

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago

you already are smh, you just don't know it!

[–] mrkite@programming.dev 9 points 6 months ago

I would fix that bug but the complete rewrite that management has had me working on for the past two years will make it obsolete anyway.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 5 points 5 months ago

Sometimes no.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 5 months ago

Yes, they're called "customers".

[–] Andrenikous@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Sometimes. Other times they layoff the QAs and anyone else whose job is about quality.

Repost #357

[–] cumskin_genocide@lemm.ee 17 points 5 months ago

Bro that reminds me when I was in university and I used to tutor fellow students with the goal of getting laid. As soon as I got laid I stopped tutoring. Now unfortunately I'm married and have kids because of that.

this is the first real 100x developer.

[–] c0ber@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 months ago
