There is a decided difference between emotion and reason. Frustration is an expression of emotion and has no place in a bug report.
A bug report should factually describe a problem and the steps a dev can take to reproduce them.
Your frustration is a symptom of your own unmet expectations. The problem with _any_ expectation is that (being constant) it is bound to be unmet, eventually, given that the world is in a state of continuous change. So you can either lose your cool, or understand that this is the nature of the world, adapt and move on.
The title of this post has "click bait" plastered all over it, and that single post takes the whole thing out of context. I'm sorry I fell for it.
Google _all_ his bug reports and understand in the context.
- jerrya 15y agoI agree with you that the title of this post is click bait, however, this statement: " Frustration is an expression of emotion and has no place in a bug report." Again, you're right, and again, you're wrong. Now we need moderators and rules and timeouts and bannination and more rules on how what as developers expect from bug reports? It's hard enough for users to make bug reports. What I want from bug reports is accuracy, precision, specification, and oh my god, a reproducible test case. If after registering for a bug account, after taking the time to create a reproducible test case, after taking the time to enter that in my reporting system, if they want to call me a simian -- I'm okay with that.
- nsomaru 15y agoI'm not sure how the effort required by a user to file a bug report entitles him to use that system in a way not intended by the system itself. Effort != entitlement. I'm not suggesting rules/moderation/banning, but a little private introspection by individuals before they act.
