In the long long ago I used to enjoy chasing down bugs to their source and fixing them, but technology ground that out of me. I used to believe, deep down, that things generally worked and made sense so if I dug to the root of the problem and fixed it things would be better forever. Sadly, this is not the case. Instead complexity just keeps getting piled on top of complexity forever, bugs just get more frequent and harder to diagnose, and just about when you've finally ironed shit out some jackasses come along and decide to rewrite everything with a new layer of complexity or two in there.
Fuck that. I don't have time for this shit anymore. If it doesn't work and I can't fix it in a few minutes I just use something else or revert to a previous version. I don't even bother to file bug reports because it is my experience that no developer cares about bugs they don't personally encounter anyway, and regardless will make me waste even more of my time collecting logs and shit. There are major projects out there with paid developers working on them that have 10+ year open bug reports for fuck sake.
