The real magic behind that bug triage anecdote isn't the tedious work it took to get there, it's that a year later anyone noticed, gave a shit, or gave credit where it was due. In 9/10 organizations, such outcomes never materialize because no one is working for the common good, nor cares about silly little things like old bugs. Often there simply isn't time. You are instead being yanked from meeting to meeting, thrashing from one poorly defined management prerogative to another, because no one outside the code base has any understanding of what it actually takes to build a stable product nor do they really care.
