Now the programmer has an incentive to make their subsystem hard to use, so users don't go there and report bugs. C'mon, add some more epicycles.

- donaq 17y agoWhy would the bug reporting mechanism be in a subsystem? Unless every subsystem had its own bug reporting mechanism, which makes zero sense. [Edit] Oh ok, I think I see what you mean. Well, firstly, if a subsystem weren't integral to the app, why develop it in the first place? Secondly, you could always track the usage of the subsystem and provide additional incentives for its success. Lastly, who says subsystems have to be directly accessible to the user? If tasked to write a module that runs in the background, one can hardly make it deliberately obtuse.
