When you hire expensive developers, they don't want to work on years old bugs. They only want to work on new features.
- java-man 7y agoI don't think it's always developers' call.
- benbristow 7y agoWell then they leave and you have no developers to fix the old bugs
- einr 7y agoI'm sure Apple Incorporated, the most profitable tech company in the world, market cap $1 trillion, can manage to hire a few competent developers that want to fix bugs.
- saagarjha 7y agoAdding developers to a project by just "buying them" is unfortunately not as easy as you make it sound. (Note: I'm not saying Apple couldn't use more engineers. It's just not something they can throw money at and fix by next week.)
- BurningFrog 7y agoI'm an expensive developer. I love fixing bugs. I also don't think my job is to be entertained, but to provide value for the company and its users.
- eyelidlessness 7y agoHeck, I love fixing bugs and it gives me a certain kind of entertainment. Making good quality software, or improving poor quality software, is something I enjoy for its own sake. The fact that it also benefits users and my employer is an additional reward.
