What's the point of spending time on that?? Some bugs have been open for a very long time that don't appear to have been fixed in this release [0]... but we can select a background color in the console????

- plorkyeran 7y agoMaking the console appearance customizable sounds like an easy starter project for onboarding someone. Your pet bug does not. The severity of a bug is far from the only thing which determines what gets worked on.
- kbenson 7y agoThe point is it's open source, so people will volunteer to work on what they want. Just because the bugs you cared about weren't worked on doesn't mean this work took any resources away that could have been applied to them.
- pbhjpbhj 7y agoYes, but presumably Moz with their $300M from Google, or whatever it is (pretty sure it's of that order) also surely employ a few programmers to squash bugs, so just waving your hand and saying "volunteer developers" doesn't quite answer the parent commenters dissatisfaction.
- floriol 7y agoAnd they so squash bugs? Yeah there def some old ones, but a priority was chosen for them and work continuous based on that.
- digitarald 7y agoText input is a priority but also hard to align on is complex, potentially risky, work. Console log background was worked on by a contributor as its a good first bug.
