Forgive my ignorance, but why would you ship an app with a broken login system (or whatever) in the first place?

Forgive my ignorance, but why would you ship an app with a broken login system (or whatever) in the first place?
- tasubotadas 6y agoWhy do people deliver software with bugs at all???
- StavrosK 6y agoAgreed, why deliver an app with an egregious bug you know about?
- vunuxodo 6y agoBecause the Powers that Be insist on making a particular release date, consequences be damned. I am currently in this situation.
- jessedhillon 6y agoIs it my imagination, or has people's ability to detect and understand sarcasm just fallen off a cliff over the past 1-2 years?
- StavrosK 6y agoIt would appear so.
- protomyth 6y agoIt's been longer than that. I would expect this is a sore point with people because few professions allow their practitioners to knowingly ship defective products to meet a deadline. Alternatively, why understand sarcasm when the lack of understanding provides some folks with an amazing weapon?
- mekkkkkk 6y agoI updated the post. The normal login flow requires swedish digital ID. Reviewers won't have access to that.
- StavrosK 6y agoI see, thanks. I can imagine how frustrating that must be, "I don't have a Swedish ID therefore your app doesn't work".
- mekkkkkk 6y agoIt's very frustrating indeed! I don't know how many times I've edited and attempted to clarify the instructions, but I'm still getting bounces. I really sympathize with the reviewers who are probably under a lot of pressure. But it doesn't change the fact that a hotfix release of our app on iOS is anxiety inducing.
- Isn0gud 6y agoOn a side note; Not having a Swedish ID in Sweden makes a lot of things very cumbersome and some even impossible, having one makes one of the most straightforward and convenient bureaucracy systems I have experienced.
- mekkkkkk 6y agoYeah. The increasing reliance on BankID in Sweden is a blessing and a curse. For us swedes born into the system it's incredibly convenient. On the flip side I've heard my fair share of horror stories from expats that get locked out of necessary services only because they don't have a social security number and bank account (yet). And that process can take a while.
- m-p-3 6y agoI hope we'll reach a point where we have a better system than a simple Social Insurance Number in Canada, which has no cryptographic protection whatsoever and can be major pain in the butt if leaked from a data breach like with had with the Desjardins Credit Union.
