I don't think writing bug reports is as simple as it seems. Sometimes it actually takes time (and experience) to learn how to communicate an issue them properly

I don't think writing bug reports is as simple as it seems. Sometimes it actually takes time (and experience) to learn how to communicate an issue them properly. Writing steps to reproduce, which systems, etc
- bsder 10y ago> I don't think writing bug reports is as simple as it seems. Only because most CS students have never taken a real laboratory course. If you get a hard-nosed lab teacher, you figure out real quick all the information required to reproduce your results. And it's remarkable how much you have to record and how detailed you have to be. The best lab teachers are the ones who will flunk your assignment if they can't reproduce your results from your lab notebook.

- k2xl 10y agoI didn't personally, but I do think introducing more software development processes into the curriculum would've been beneficial.
