189 bugs in one week. How many employees quit after that?
- asdfman123 11mo agoThey said they only pick bugs that take 2 days to fix. Places where you can move fast and actually do things are actually far better places to work for. I mean the ones were you can show up, do 5 hours of really good work, and then slack off/leave a little early.
- kykat 11mo agoToo bad many places care more about how long you stay warming the seat than how useful the work done actually is.
- ls-a 11mo agoNothing takes 2 days to fix. Those are definitely not bugs, like someone else mentioned
- toast0 11mo agoYou haven't seen the same kind of bugs I have, I guess. This kind of thing takes more than 2 days to fix, unless you're really good. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=217637 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=217637 Or this one https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/104845/dhe-rsa-pubkey-length-in-tls-1-2 https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/104845/dhe-rsa-... I can find more of these that I've run into if I look. I've had tricky bugs in my team's code too, but those don't result in public artifacts, and I'm responsible for all the code that runs on my server, regardless of who wrote it... And I also can't crash client code, regardless of who wrote it, even if my code just follows the RFC.
- ls-a 11mo agoThat's what I'm saying. Nothing takes 2 days to fix meaning it takes more time
- toast0 11mo agoOh. Well, I've done easy fixes too. There's plenty of things that just need a couple minutes, like a copy error somewhere. Or just an hour or two. I can't find it anymore, but I've run into libraries where simple things with months didn't work, because like May only has three letters or July and June both start with Ju. That can turn into a big deal, but often it's easy, once someone notices it.
- ls-a 11mo agoIf your goal is to fill green github squares then fine
- asdfman123 11mo agoI'm sure it has a lot to do with the complexity of the environment but I've fixed three bugs in a day easily. Our software isn't serving millions of people though, it's a cli tool with a few hundred end users.
- ls-a 11mo agoGood job coloring github squares
- asdfman123 11mo agoDude I really am fixing real bugs and doing useful work, I've just gotten very good at my job.
