Yeah, that’s dedication! Most bug report handlers today won’t even try to reproduce the bug on a weaker machine. Forget fire risk!

- pmiller2 6y agoI don't know about you, but if I ever got a bug report that says "do these things, and it will catch on fire," you can be damn sure I'd be trying to reproduce it with a fire extinguisher nearby. :P
- lambda 6y agoYes! This is why I love this story so much. I triage so many bug reports that don't even have the barest of effort putting in to reproducing or minimizing them, so it's like pulling teeth to figure out what the problem actually is. The fact that someone put enough effort in to reproducing and characterizing a bug report for a bug that actually caused a fire is amazing!
