@mirceal, @wffurr, I see what you're saying and you're both right.
However that does leave a major question for me; if devs are triaging their own bugs to this extent (70% vs 0% fix), is this safe, because those bugs will relate ultimately to business requirements related to uptime and correctness.
- kd5bjo 7y agoFor the most part at Facebook, ongoing maintenance and business outcomes are the responsibility of the team that originally wrote and deployed the feature. The idea is to give the team (and ideally the individual developer) as much agency as possible as they are the closest to the actual problems.
- mirceal 7y agodevelopers don’t triage their own bugs (mostly) but the difference is that one issue is implicit at PR time while the other is explicit (actual bugs filing - this means that apart from fixing they occur the overhead of actually having Jira/whatever items attached to them, being discussed and prioritized in backlog grooming, being preempted by higer priority feature work or bugs, you name it. what was a 5 minutes fix now eats hours. with 0 recognition and perceived as cleanup that might not be needed at all)
