If your answer to a bug like this, a week from the deadline, is that the only way to fix it is to rewrite the entire file structure instead of putting in a workaround... you probably deserve to be fired. I do wonder if they had someone else code up a workaround before shipping though.
- ansy 15y agoI don't think it's clear, but it seems like the person who wrote the article is a QA tester and the developer who suggested the fix was another person. I doubt they would fire a QA tester just for finding a bug. He might have been laid off with a bunch of other people or he might have been getting a big head about his prize defect. Granted, it is kind of a big defect. But some people can be sore winners.
