Always love this one, I'd do the same but there's to many fucking things to fix.

Maybe the guy is content where he was, asks just wanted to fix that bug

Bro that reminds me when I was in university and I used to tutor fellow students with the goal of getting laid. As soon as I got laid I stopped tutoring. Now unfortunately I'm married and have kids because of that.

He tutored girls with the hopes of getting laid, but then when he did, it turns out he liked her and settled down with her and is now married to her.

Ohhhh for some reason my mind went to him trying to tutor other dudes to help them with women. Was very confused.

Reminds me of when my breaks started failing on my 1990 Chrysler LeBaron so I got a job at a break repair place long enough to fix them then I quit.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 5 months ago (5 children)

those bits on a car are called "brakes". When a brake breaks, it's a broken brake and needs to be fixed.

"if it ain't brakes, we don't fix it"

Pads, calibers and new discs. That seemed like a lot of money for 17 year old kid. I worked there for a couple of months. I learned a few things, like working on brakes is not for me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I hate working on brakes. Even just replacing pads can be a pain in the ass nevermind when you have to do real work to 'em.

I try to do all the basic work/maintenance myself, but fuck brakes.

Lol, ya it was the breaks that I was too broke to afford brakes.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

I think "breaks" is appropriate if you own a Chrysler.

It seems like I'm constantly finding bugs in businesses' apps. Do they not have people test them?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Sometimes. Other times they layoff the QAs and anyone else whose job is about quality.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago (2 children)

they test them...

Whether they do anything with that testing is another story,.

Yes, they're called "customers".

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Sometimes no.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I would fix that bug but the complete rewrite that management has had me working on for the past two years will make it obsolete anyway.

They do, and they have a backlog of hundreds of issues to fix and they must prioritise then. If fixing a bug doesn't make money, it's not priority.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (4 children)

I am steadfast that I will occasionally take some time and kill off some low hanging fruit. For me, its kind of like a break and lets me clear my head on the bigger issues.

I hate how they'll spend 4 years squashing all the bugs.........and then they cancel the software, and release a new buggy version.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

i will never forgive the emby team for creating the single most idiotic (although rather funny) transcoding system.

It has a resolution selection, along with a bitrate selection, so you would think it forces transcoding.

It turns out the resolution is actually just a suggestion, and the bitrate is what it targets, if it doesn't meet the bitrate, it will transcode, and if you get lucky, it might transcode to the specified resolution.

cough Sonos

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago

I deal with this every day. It hurts me to my core.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 5 months ago

As someone in the dev team for a "business app", we probably know about most or all of them, but they're just not important enough for anyone in management to prioritize them as part of a sprint. It's also possible no one has given us reproducible steps to make them happen, so we just straight up don't know what to fix. Usually the former though.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 5 months ago

sure they do, you're one of them
