Instant overreaction and posting to HN has come up a lot lately.
The Skype story yesterday was another mistake where a technical support person wrote that a bug was "by design" when they meant to type "bug," so of course it gets raced into HN as 'news' rather than trying to get clarification.
- Dobbs 16y agoTo be fair when working as a software tester on more than one occasion did a developer mark an obvious bug as "by design".
- ryanpetrich 16y agoSometimes it is by design, but the design is flawed.
- happy_camper 16y agoIndeed, this seems to be a sure fire way of getting some attention here lately. Experience some sort of inconsistency in service/support, and quickly write up an "expose" like blog post.
