i wonder if this expression constitutes a thought-terminating cliché.
- KirinDave 10y agoIt does, inasmuch as objective metrics for "correctness" don't exist in our field. The best we can do is show "incorrectness." It's absurd to say, "My tool is correct and therefore should be used," when all we really can demonstrate is, "My tool lacks these specific deficiencies I can identify in another choice." This bug comes nowhere near demonstrating that Electron or VS Code or Atom are built incorrectly or incorrect tools
