Does this author really think that every developer, after every code commit, and before every release, manually goes through every single piece of functionality in an entire operating system, in every possible configuration, to ensure nothing regressed? That just does not happen. Either they write regression tests, or they document a feature and have QC evaluate it. But both of those can be error-prone, bugs happen, and there is absolutely no indication that anyone knew about the bugs. Refusing to report them because "they should have known about them anyway" is childish.
- wool_gather 7y agoAgree; it's also not rendering the feature "unusable" or "killed" as hyperbolized in the article. It's a bug -- it's a very annoying bug -- but it's pretty middle of the road and doesn't actually prevent the user from doing anything.
